Obama is expected to be strong in Portland, Eugene and Corvallis

---

Thats pretty much a given...although I am seeing a trend in yard signs developing in my surrounding neighborhoods; Hillary signs are appearing with greater frequency in homes owned by middle class blacks(or Afro Americans, or Negroes or whatever it is stylish to call them)while Obama signs are sprouting up in front of white middle class homes(most of which were bought for 3/4 million a pop and remodeled)...and Nader is due in state soon. Just my observations with a dash of investigation through tax and voter rolls.

[crazyhorse691]

Yeah, the Portland Mayors usually set the gold standard for “ultra moonbat.” I don’t think there has been a sane one in maybe a half-century. Long ago, those places actually used to be Republican bastions. :-\

---

Frank Ivancie was the last sane mayor and he was a Democrat...Darimund O’Scannlin was an up and coming Republican, but, he went to the 9th Circus Appellate Court. It has been ugly since then(Bud Clark, Vera Katz, and Tom Potter).

[Sir_Ed]

Here in Grants Pass I see two Hitlery signs, probably five Obama bumper stickers, NO McCain signs or bumper stickers, and everyone I know is going to either vote third-party or write in a candidate that supports our nation’s Constitution.

Hitlery was supposed to speak at the Jackson County Fairgrounds Thursday (after a $2,000/plate fund-raiser at the Mark Antony Hotel!) and we’re all going to protest her.

But they may cancel after Tuesday’s less-than-stellar Indiana results and the solid whuppin’ she took in North Carolina.

Interestingly enough, I have seen nothing here either in support of McCain...ya’d think that just one or two of our contrary anarchists would have at least put up a homemade McCain sign...maybe the McCain stench even penetrates their BO.

I’d heard of Ivancie but didn’t know much about him. Apparently the last Republican Mayor was the interim Mayor Connie McCready when the creep/pervert Neil Goldschmidt became Carter’s Transportation Secretary in 1979. 1952 was the last time a Republican won a full 4-year term (Fred Peterson). I wasn’t aware O’Scannlain had run for Mayor, I only knew him for his losing 1974 run for the suburban 1st district U.S. House seat (which had, until that point, gone 96 years without electing a Dem). We’ve never won it back.

B. Hussein took my state’s Dim caucus and he’ll more than likely get trounced in the general.

[crazyhorse691]

I didn't mean to imply that O”Scanlon actually ran for mayor...it was one of the options he was looking at. The thinking then was that he would have a high visibility office from which to run for governor then the senate. Water under the bridge...now Portland is looking at electing a gay bully as mayor.
And Carter removing Goldschmidt from Portland was one of the only two good choices Carter ever made(the other being his concession speech).

McCAIN- BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS UNTHINKABLEMcCAIN- BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS UNTHINKABLE

I'm with you.

Supreme Court Justices and success in Iraq and Afghanistan override whatever shortcomings he has.

President Obama? Commander in Chief of America's armed forces Obama? Obama's appointees to the Supreme Court of the United States?

That's unthinkable.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I didn’t know Potter wasn’t running again. A gay Marxist named Sam Adams ? Well, don’t that beat all. Is the other candidate, Sho Dozono, any better ?

[crazyhorse691]

Mayor Potter never gave a good reason why he isn't seeking a second term(He did have skin cancer last year)...Sho would probably be a better mayor, but, he is still very liberal. Jeff Taylor sounds the sanest of the bunch(even though he is still pushing for ferries across the Willamette).

[fieldmarshaldj]

Ferries across the Willamette ? He is aware that they built some bridges, isn’t he ? ;-)

[crazyhorse691]

It's a Cuckoos Nest mayoralty field.

>I think Obama would be much easier to beat than Hillary.

Sort of right.
The gist of this statement is definitely true, but either one will be very, very hard to beat.
Hillary would be impossible for McCain to beat. IMO.

Obama is possible to beat, but barely.
I have zero faith in the American electorate to do the right thing and the MSM is going to go full guns against McCain, 24/7.
The money will pour in for Obama. - McCain will be out-funded and outspent 2 or 3 to one.

And then there is McCain himself, and all of the people who are waiting for the magic independents and moderate Democrats to rush forth with support and votes.

Don't hold your breath.

Watch as McCain makes huge blunders. - I can't bear to watch the train wreck that is going to be played out in slow motion right here, starting with his slobbering pandering to La Raza.

Obama will continue to be ... Obama and that is painful itself, knowing that he is going to have the high track to this election and that McCain will have to slog to prevail in November by one state.

Frankly, I don't see it.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Thank you>>>>Keeping the set off to avoid the sickening Hillary ads

[Blue_Spark]

At least Sho has been in business. I think it is time to only elect people who have private sector experience before running for office. Too often those elected only know government which has its own peculiarity in thinking. Also, GOP has been out of power for so long in this state that I consider the GOP bench weak.

[proudpapa]

Hillary has done McCain the biggest favor.

The McCain team now knows which counties Hillary won. All McCain has to do is target these counties to win over 10% of disgruntled Hillary supporters.

Especially in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio and Florida.

[bill1952]

I like your thinking, although I’m fairly sure that Pa isn’t going to stop its red trend, nor it’s two decades of tradition by voting McCain.
Seeing how my old county of Montgomery, Pa. just voted 51/49 Clinton/Obama makes me think that Pa is going to vote Obama in the fall.
But I will go there to see what I can do to help.

Ohio and Missouri are another matter altogether and your point is well taken.

[Canadian Outrage]

I agree Meg. I sure wouldn’t want to have your choices this year. We finally have a Good Conservative Prime Minister in Canada. It will take for him to win a Majority however, to really clean up the 13 years of dung that the Liberals left. Both of our countries are in serious need of prayer!!! CO

[MEG33]

Definitely ..Prayers for our nations.
Good to “see” you, CO!

THANK YOU, Commander Limbaugh, for your valiant and successful execution of Operation Chaos!
