GOBAMA!

[Lucky 13]

1. BAM!

Gobama

[BumRushDaShow]

2. K&R

:kick:

[Colobo]

3. Hey, Hill... TAKE THAT! Gobama!

[loveangelc]

4. I always wanted to move to Oregon.

w0000000000

[GarbagemanLB]

11. We got the ocean, the mountains, the gorge, and plenty of forests. Not to mention 'Little Beirut'!

[Cha]

28. Lebanon..is that why

it's called that? 'Cause of the people who settled there? I always wondered that.

[GarbagemanLB]

32. No...staffers to H.W. Bush called us that because of our vigorous protests :)

[Cha]

44. Wow! The things one finds

out on DU!

[classof56]

20. We welcome you here!

Just be sure to take up residence at least two weeks prior to the general election so you can register to vote. Wanna know why? Google Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. (Or PM me if that doesn't give the answer.)

Someone called me the other day to ask who I was voting for--Clinton or Obama. I said Obama. Guess I'm locked in now, huh??

Tired Old Cynic

[fujiyama]

64. I'm going to be out here for at least the next month

So far I am loving it.

It has two great cities (Portland, and I heard Eugene is nice too), a river, mountains, gorges...tons of activities. My work place is on the river bank and offers an amazing view. I don't really think I'm going back to MI.

And yeah, Obama will win it. You should make it out here for sure. It's an awesome state - and there's no sales tax which is nice for shopping...and overall the cost of living is cheaper than CA but offers many of the same things (though the weather is kinda gray and overcast and rainy at times, but changes frequently).

[loveangelc]

67. I love the no sales tax thing. I've seen pictures and it just looks soooo beautiful.

[XemaSab]

5. Only?

I was predicting a 20-point lead. :(

[Drunken Irishman]

12. You were fooling yourself if you thought it'd be that big.

The last poll had Obama down 9.

[XemaSab]

27. Oh, I don't think I WAS fooling myself

He got 68% in Washington and 80% in Idaho. He won 82/83 counties between those two states. The one county he lost was in Idaho and had 17 democratic voters, of whom only 7 voted for him.

He won virtually every county in Northern Nevada, and he would have won every county in "Jefferson" California if Edwards hadn't captured 10+ percent of the vote.

I think Oregon is Obama country, bigtime.

[Drunken Irishman]

30. Those were caucuses, where he does better.

Oregon is a primary and Oregon is more conservative than Washington.

[Drunken Irishman]

39. PLUS, we still have over a month...a ton of time for Obama to build a bigger lead there.

[XemaSab]

42. Let me repeat:

He won the most conservative counties in Washington and Idaho. I don't entirely know what's going on in the Northwest, but they LOVE Obama up there.

[Pastiche423]

52. Eastern Oregon is more conservative

but not the coast. Otherwise I'd have blown this place a long time ago. (Still wanna move, though.)

[CreekDog]

51. Well, Oregon is redneck in some places

like in the eastern part and in the western part except for the coast, Portland, Eugene and Bend. :hide:

[XemaSab]

66. My mom lived in Washington State for a while

DUDE. Like, they took redneck to a whole 'nother LEVEL. :scared:

[Zachstar]

29. That is not possible unless Obama wins PA

Clinton winning PA by any means will cost Obama some percent on later states.

However if he wins he will likely gain some percent because of doing what was considered impossible which is winning a strong Clinton firewall.

No the talk was that Obama was down by a bit so him being over 10 percent before he does major campaigning there is fine!

[Cali_Democrat]

6. Woooo Hoooo!!

:woohoo:

[AtomicKitten]

7. Oh, hell yes.

:thumbsup:

[goldcanyonaz]

8. Wow, I'm surprised it isn't by more. Cool! Thanks for posting.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Sweetie, Hillary needs blowout victories right now

You should be VERY worried.

[Zachstar]

34. Why are you surprised?

That is like saying your are surprised that PA had Clinton is a 20-25 lead months ago.

[depakid]

9. He'll win Oregon handily

He might even be able to carry it in the GE.

Even Dukakis did.

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

10. Sweet!

[JimGinPA]

14. K&R

[GoesTo11]

15. But can he win the white vote?

[woolldog]

16. Looking at the crosstabs....

There's a high number of undecided Asian voters.

I wonder why that is?

[grantcart]

17. Only about 8 folks

[GoesTo11]

22. I would they were bet husband and wife

Out of 597 likely voters, 5% were Asians, 8% of Asians were undecided. I think this works out to 2 out of the 27 Asian voters in the poll were undecided.

[woolldog]

33. lol.....ok.

[Tropics_Dude83]

35. The Asian community is very VERY cool to Obama indeed

CNN did a story just before the Washington caucuses about this.

[woolldog]

36. I saw that story.

they're reticent to vote for a black man. But he is winning the asian vote currently.

[quakerboy]

62. I wonder how that will play out in the GE

when its Obama Vs McIHateGooksCain

[woolldog]

68. I think the more often people see Obama in their living-rooms,

the less of a factor race is. That's why I like his saturation approach in PA, with the bus tour and frequent national interviews.

Then again, according to Ferraro, his race is an advantage....lol

[kmsarvis]

46. HE ONLY HAS REAL TROUBLE WITH THE WHITE VOTE IN REDNECK AREAS.

[Pastiche423]

54. He sure as hell got more white people to come hear

him in Eugene. 9,000+, compared to Clinton's 2,500.

Btw, wtf kind of question is that anyway?

[GoesTo11]

56. Sorry

Sarcasm. How do I tag that?

[Pastiche423]

57. Type sarcasm

w/a colon before the "s" and after the "m".

[ORDem]

63. Errr, OR is about as white as they come I'm afraid. n/t

:dem:

[Georgie_92]

18. AWESOME!!!!

[RBInMaine]

19. And it's only going to get BIGGER !

[MadBadger]

21. He leads in the Hispanic and Asian Vote.

[FightingIrish]

23. Once things thaw out here it will be a landslide

Obama has already taken this state. A friend of mine is married to a Republican lobbyist and she is solid Obama. My entire family is for Obama. He'll carry Oregon easily in November.

[MadBadger]

24. Have they started voting yet?

[GarbagemanLB]

25. We get our ballots in early May.

[davidpdx]

53. Ah...but those who are overseas voters get our ballots in April!

I will be doing the happy dance when my ballot gets here.


OREGON FOR OBAMA!

[Cha]

26. I would hope Oregon would give

Obama a better lead than 10 points as we get closer to the May 20th date.

With hilary lies coming fast and furious why would anyone who is capable of critical thinking..vote for her?

[woolldog]

40. older voters prefer her.

they may feel Obama is too young. They're also more likely to care about "exprience"--even though we all know Clinton doesn't have appreciably more experience, she has generated that perception.

[Cha]

45. I guess they aren't getting the news that hilary's

"experience" consists of lying and underhanded deals.

[thevoiceofreason]

58. But the cross-tabs show that that only applies to the much older voters

[george_maniakes]

31. Is it an internet poll? n/t

[Upton]

37. Sounds good but not surprising

the Pacific NW is Obama country.

[smalll]

38. Only 10 points? In Oregon???

My impression is that these days, Oregon is simply a satellite state of Washington/Seattle, the very birthplace of latte liberalism. Amazing how many people still support Hillary, despite all the media Obamalove. He's just not ready. A lot of people aren't willing to ignore that inconvenient truth.

[Drunken Irishman]

41. lol, nice spin, bud!

You're funny. :)

[MattNC]

47. i'm slightly surprised too

as an Obama supporter. I thought he might be up a little more. But I'll definitely take a ten point lead.

[JayFredMuggs]

43. Yeah, and if Hillary will win PA by 10 points and you will say

She's had a great victory

Somehow there's a double standard here. Both states are in the USA, but you load your post with all sorts of stereotypes.

[Upton]

50. You got a problem with Wa?

specifically King Co.? You're obviously not from around here or you would know Ore. is much more than a "satellite" of Seattle. Anyway, Obama will win handily in Ore., don't trouble yourself about that.

[bigbrother05]

61. It's still early, wait until he really campaigns in Oregon

[fujiyama]

65. What's wrong with Seattle and Portland?

I love this state - so far I've been here less than a week.

If this is the birthplace of latte liberalism, go latte liberalism! The coffee out here, like the rest of the food is tasty. It is a very nice state. Seems pretty tolerant, and gasp - LIBERAL! I don't feel like heading back.

[Yael]

48. Ah, yes -- but don't get your hopes up. Sad, sad news on the AOL front

[Arugula Latte]

49. Woohoo! I knew it!

:woohoo:

[davidpdx]

55. Thanks for the good news...

I'm an Oregonian who is overseas and was happy to hear this.

Kick number 13 was from me!

[swishyfeet]

59. Hillary was JUST here

She may have got a little bump for being in the news here immediately before the poll...

At any rate, it's great to we're actually on the radar now!

[boppers]

60. Wait, she comes here, and *drops* in the polls?

:rofl:

I guess it was the "tough questions" she was asked like "Uhm, about Iraq, :wtf:", which she then fumbled gloriously, and her bizarre response about dirty campaigning that this was "one of the most positive and civil campaigns I have ever been a part of".

Yes, she actually said that.

69. Great!
