ROSEBURG, Ore. -- Oregon House Republican Leader Bruce Hanna of Roseburg has been hearing from business leaders and party
activists, and he's considering running a spokesman said.

Three other candidates - Allen Alley, John Lim and Bill Sizemore already are in the race.

Some in the party are still searching for a candidate who they think can overcome Democratic advantages in 2010.
