I spent the week working in southern Oregon. If it weren’t for Portland and college hippies in places like Ashland, this state would be all R. Portland just runs that state.
But it does make a person feel good that there are people in parts of Oregon that are as strongly opposed to this garbage as I am. The clients I worked with were virulent anti-Obama to a person.
Born and lived in OR for most of my life and everywhere that isn’t Portland, Eugene, and Bend is VERY conservative.
If it weren’t for wacky Portland, we wouldn’t have Portlandia!

The same is true for Washington State. If you remove the Seattle metropolitan area from the mix the state is conservative.
Exactly right!! I have lived here and the liberals in PDX have controlled Portland all that time. The same thing goes on in our state of Wa., as Seattle and three liberal counties there, vote control our state which is all the rest mostely retired conservatives. It is tough to put up with the crap they dish out, but a lot of Californians have come north for the six months good weather and beautiful living, and end up staying through a moderate winter of mostely rain. You are exactly right about Oregon...beautiful state with people who can’t wait to mess everything up.
