Easterners? Eastern Oregonians! The wild and wooly part of the state as opposed to the coffee and granola Western I-5 corridor of Eugene, Salem and Portland. The East is the Red Zone part of Oregon, the West is Red and Blue mixed.

Actually, take out Multnomah County (ie. PDX) and the state is overwhelmingly Republican. I think Gore carried the state by carrying only 3 counties, or was it just ONE (Mult.)? Oregon would be like Idaho if it weren't for that liberal enclave grafted on to the mouth of the Willamette! Lots of radicals/anarchists in Eugene, but I think even there they are heavily outvoted.
