Oregon for Obama
Being that I grew up in Oregon, went to college there, and even did a brief stint of graduate work at the University of Oregon, I have a certain amount of interest in the Oregon primary. I was amazed to hear that 75,000 Portlanders went out to Waterfront Park to hear Obama yesterday. Apparently, from what I'm hearing, that is a record amount for any presidential candidate.
I don't know what kentucky will do tomorrow, but I think we can guess that Oregon is going for Obama! I think we can say that this will be true in the fall as well.

About OR: It's a swing state (BOTH Gore and Kerry narrowly carried it) because it's liberals are very liberal and its conservatives are very conservative. Thus, it legalized medical marijuana and doctor-assisted suicide, but also amended it's state constitution to ban gay marriages! So, is it a sure thing for Obama in the Fall?
I mean, McCain couldn't get 75,000 people to gather for his own funeral, but still . . .
