If it weren’t for Portland and college hippies in places like Ashland, this state would be all R. Portland just runs that state.

The same is true for Washington State. If you remove the Seattle metropolitan area from the mix the state is conservative.

Totally true! I guess the Cascades keep the liberal feces fog on the coastlines.

For some reason this holds true for WA, Oregon, and California.

Something about the mountains stops the liberalism from spreading eastward in these states.

Yup. I used to live in Bellingham and it was heaven for me. Socially though, it was as dead as obama’s honor.

“The same is true for Washington State. If you remove the Seattle metropolitan area from the mix the state is conservative. “

The same is true in EVERY state. Just a few urban counties, either in NY, IL, WA, or MD, PA or MI, or NV, or even CA, makes the state Democrat and liberal. Remove the College towns, capital city, and mega-cities, and this country would be 2-to-1 Republican.

Why, OH WHY, do city dwellers have such a liberal herd mentality?
