[edit] Primiary candidates

We had lists here, and on Oregon Senate elections, 2008, of all primary candidates. I think that information should be preserved in some form. My edit to this article (earlier today) was an attempt to move in that direction, if not the greatest long-term result. Any thoughts about how to present all the info in a clear way? (One easy solution would be to just include the original chart below the current chart...) -Pete (talk) 23:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Did you see that I put them in footnotes? We could call that out in the lede. That seemed like the best solution to me. --Esprqii (talk) 23:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah! No, I had missed that entirely. I think I like that approach. I just created a table, from the Senate article, of the contested races, which I thought we could include as a separate table...I'll paste it below for consideration, since I already made it, but I think your footnotes approach may be the better one. -Pete (talk) 23:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
