they keep talking about Hillary's possible blowout in that state without talking about Obama's possible blowout win in the mostly white state of Oregon.

OMG! White people not voting for a black guy!

Versus ... latte liberals fawn over the new IT guy!!

I'm just laying out their thinking, not agreeing with it.

2. I'll love watching their reaction when Obama wins the White vote in Oregon
If I were White, I'd be mad that the MSM is trying to paint us all as racists who don't want to vote for a Black person. It's clearly a class thing being reinforced by race...but not determined by it. I think there's a direct correlation between poor states and Obama struggling.

4. Because sadly, the media does not get the 50 state strategy.
That is one reason I have been so stoked about this campaign going on so long. ALL the states get a say!!!

5. Kentucky has "hardworking people, white people" but Oregon only has
westerners who don't count as "real" white people.
