Folks are not feeling Sammy. In fact they have launched a site geared to removing Sam Adams as Mayor. Basically, they want to recall him.
The site is called www.recallsamadams.com. This is from their webpage:
Why do you feel Sam Adams should be recalled?
Sam Adams should be recalled for deliberately lying to the public, orchestrating an elaborate cover-up in which he subverted the 2008 mayoral election and abusing the power that the people entrusted to him. The people of Portland and surrounding communities are the unwilling victims who are paying for his deception and betrayal.
What are your political ideologies?
We feel that our views are in line with what some have labeled as American Progressivism. Historically it was the Progressive movement in the early 1900's that made recalls of elected officials possible.
Our volunteer base is comprised of individuals who subscribe to just about every political ideology with the common belief that Sam Adams actions warrant him unfit for office.
What are your views about homosexuality?
Every citizen has the right to the pursuit of happiness and it is the job of government to protect individual liberties. Deliberately lying, masterminding cover-ups and abusing power are traits of a corrupt politician and has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
We feel that Sam Adams has exploited and done a great disservice to the LGBT community. Our recall effort is dedicated to educating the public that any citizen with integrity, honesty and ideas can be leaders.
The goal of this group is gain 2,000 volunteers and collect 50,000 signatures. If they get more than 31,000 signatures, Sammy will be removed. I knew something was happening, it was quiet way too long in Oregon.

That's most unfortunate as I believe many are overlooking that another gay man invoked anti-gay slander to discredit Mr. Adams.
