Steve Novick Dismayed That R-G Didn't Endorse Him, Lays Out Other Reasons Why He Didn't Win

As we all know, Jeff Merkley beat out Steve Novick for the chance to be the Democratic challenger to Gordon Smith. In this clip on KCRW's Outlook Portland, Novick is interviewed by the Portland Mercury's Amy Ruiz and host David Bragdon. In it, Novick implies that his endorsements (or lack of endorsements) outside of the Portland area hurt him, noting that the "Eugene Register-Guard" didn't endorse him even though he was under the impression that they had "a long relationship." EW endorsed Novick.
