nice analysis
add pa and wi and we are good to go
Amazing.
I remember seeing a map that had Oregon red and I thought they were nuts. Maybe not.
Would the world come to a standstill if Oregon went red for Romney/Ryan?
Wowsies!!!!
Obama will probably win Oregon but not by that much this time in Portland. If you take out Ashland, Eugene and Portland Romney wins big.
I live on a block that runs without cross streets from Burnside to Stark in Portland. Last election, more than half the block had Obama signs. This time, there is only one sign supporting Obama. Wonder if this means anything?
