The problem is that were it not for Portland, Oregon would be a red state, and pretty damn red at that. Bundys and Bundy wannabes are popular in Oregon outside the Portland area and a few, small coastal communities. Similar analysis applies just about everywhere.
Yes, I think you're right about that. Also, Oregon is the fourth whitest blue state, arguably bluer than any of whiter blue states (Vermont, Maine, and Minnesota). Very blue for a state that's over 80% white. Almost enough to inspire some hope, eh?
Oh, I wouldn't say that. There are more little blue dots out here than you might think.
We travel the state each summer volunteering for Oregon State Parks and we find friends wherever we go. The loudmouths may have signs saying they want to move the border, but they aren't everywhere. From Sumpter, Oregon.
Yes, many blue dots. Oregon is a great place. Probably the bluest state thatтАЩs over 80% white, but the blue power comes from the Portland, Eugene, and Salem areas, where over 70% of the people live. The blue dots are nice to find (the Republic of Ashland, for example, and many dots near the coast), but they are scattered in a sea of red (Medford, for example), and that red sea is dotted with a big contingent of serious loonies (Bundy wannabes and others carrying guns with 300-round magazines). ItтАЩs fantastic that blue voters are in charge, and itтАЩs essential that they stay in charge because the loonies are exceedingly dangerous. I hope good-hearted Oregonians keep up the good work.
If she has an R in her campaign, no democrat would vote for her. We are not voting for ANY republican, anywhere.
That's my feeling too. I haven't voted for any R for years.

Bend is now more D and Eugene of course. I would say if not for the population in the Willamette Valley more broadly.

Yes...some hope despite the awful history here.
