Oregon must be full of white guilters. I'm am noting the areas of the state to not visit now. I wouldn't want to give a white guilter any business.
God is always good!
I thot Or was going to be a blowout for Obama? Hardly that.
I thought it was going to be a lot closer in Oregon. A 16 point loss is not good for Hillary. She still has a chance for the popular vote lead but she will need Puerto Rico by a huge margin to do it. The only poll I found on Puerto Rico gives her only a 13 point lead, which is not enough unless the turnout is exceptional.

Not good numbers for a family who all but lived here this past month. People kept running into Chelsea at Gay political fundraisers in PDX, shopping in Springfield, and was everywhere. Bill Clinton even went to Eastern Oregon towns, talk about humping dry holes for Democratic voters. He got a bigger crowd here in Eugene the Hillary did. but I was checking it out, allot of that 3 thousand person crowd were Obama voters. Eugene is not that big a city so spotting that was not hard for someone who has lived here much of the time since 1972. There is 3-5 Obama lawn signs to every Hil one here too. And Eugeneans love their lawn sights, many have several of all the candidates. I am very worried Jim Torrey has beaten Mayor Kitty Percy. I don't want to see that fathead in city hall again. That is the race I am sweating on.
Works for me you racist prick.
lol. Let's hear about the mayor race.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
Mike, you can do better than that.
Is Chelsea part of the Clinton/Bush dynasty?
By Edward Russo The Register-Guard Published: May 21, 2008 12:00AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The battle for Eugene mayor between incumbent Kitty Piercy and challenger Jim Torrey apparently will last another five months. Both Piercy and Torrey were failing to get more than 50 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s primary election, forcing a runoff between the two in the Nov. 4 general election. With nearly 40 percent of the vote counted, only 339 votes separated the two candidates. Torrey led 48.2 percent to Piercy’s 47.3 percent. Two minor candidates held the rest of the votes. Read more in Wednesday’s Register-Guard. Eugene Mayor Local votes Local percentage Jim Torrey 22,040 48.3% Kitty Piercy* 21,526 47.2% Nick Urhausen 1,071 2.3% Jim Ray 674 1.5% Vote totals 45,643 She has been a full blown surrogate for her mom. And she has indeed been everywhere, the "where's Waldo" of this primary campaign in Oregon. She doesn't strike me as the sort who wants to run for public office themselves, but you never know. She certainly would get some mileage as a Clinton if she did.
I saw the photo of the huge crowd Obama had in Oregon. Were you there? If so what was the racial makeup.
Overwhelmingly white. You have to understand that demographically, Portland is overwhelmingly Caucasian in racial make-up. We had group like 'The Knights of the Golden Order' and other racial supremacists work real hard before WW II to keep Oregon as white as possible. The ship building and other war industry boom of WW II brought the first Negroes in any number here. In fact, they were crowded into an area reclaimed from the Columbia River known as Vanport that was flooded out in a major disaster that killed many. It has been a hard road for many minorities in Oregon. Eugene, the second largest city is worse off. You can go through the day with only seeing a scattered few Negro faces in a sea of white. The KKK used to be a regular fixture in the July 4th parade in Eugene, and the large wooden then concrete cross downtown was originally put on Skinner's butte overlooking the train station to remind blacks not to let the sun set on them here. The crowd in Portland was overwhelmingly white. It cannot have been any other way, most people there are white, so that is unavoidable.
