A good man died today. And, he was a Republican.

He was Mark O. Hatfield.

He was the last Republican I ever voted for.

He opposed the war in Viet Nam.

Governor of Oregon, and later a US Senator.

Not to put too much of a point on it, but moderate Republicans are an endangered species.

Mark Hatfield was one of those.
