It will be interesting to see how much of the white vote the 57 stater will get in Oregon. If it is also low then Obama is finished.

He will clean up in Oregon for the primary because it has been Californicated. For the general, its less certain due to the Bradley Effect and that Kerry only took the state with 51% in 2004 and that for some weird reason a lot of Californicates turn into "Northwest rednecks" after time.

The difference, of course, between a Northwest Redneck and a Southern Redneck doesn't just stop with the college degree, but the Northwest Redneck only drinks local microbrew and prefers non-Starbucks coffee while dining at non-chain restaurants. The Northwest Redneck still can't differentiate between any two kinds of Asian food despite a haughty attitude, but he plays the game well. Instead of a 1970s pickup, he drives a lean, mean, modern machine, usually Japanese. Over time, he picks up a rabid anti-tax stance and joins the locals in crafting ballot measures to limit how much money the State can extract from the people. After a decade, a sheen of cynicism comes over him and he begins to distrust politicians he once worshiped in the warm California sun.

There is a joke around here: An earthquake hits California and kills a million people. FEMA sends aid. Oregon sends a million replacement Californians and asks if they need a million more. Please, take them. There are plenty to get rid of.

Are you a former californaholic? The redneck description was spot on.

I'm a native Oregonian who ended up in California for a number of years.

I've been thinking about moving to Oregon in the future. Perhaps in the NE around Pendleton, but maybe more toward the coast...I don't know enough about it...need to do some exploration. If you have a few minutes to spare, can you tell me the drawbacks of living in Oregon?

Sure.

The land use laws are nasty. You might not be able to do anything with land that you purchase. Some counties are trying to buck the State on that now.

Eastern Oregon is a desert. It is very hot and very dry out there.

The income tax is as high as California's. Oregon is not a very low-tax state.

There is a large population of lefties who take great pride in their attempts to order people around. If you go into downtown Portland when it is protest season, bring pepper spray.

The State Government has figured out how to screw The People when it comes to ballot initiatives. It used to be that The People could pass their own Constitutional Amendments, but the Magistrates have decided you can only effect one small change per ballot measure now. They don't like the fact that The People can override the Elite.

In Southern Oregon, in Ashland, if your family hasn't been there since the 1800s, they look down upon you and WILL try and run you out of town. On the flip side, in Ashland, they call themselves "tolerant" and "progressive".

Jobs are hard to come by in Oregon especially if you're not living in the Portland area.

On the flip side, Oregon is a "practically anything goes outside of Portland" state for firearms. No registration, no waiting periods, and Class 3 is legal.

There are more plusses and minuses to it. The big minus is that the state is full of clueless refugees from California these days who don't realize that they are turning Oregon into that which they fled.
