This state is likely to be a 8-12 point Obama win.
Plus it's a mostly white swing state that Gore and Kerry barely won, so I don't want to see the Clinton Press Release saying Oregon doesn't matter.
Oregon is anti-war, and big on reform politics. If Clinton doesn't score an upset here, it's really hard for her to have any path to the nomination
From CNN today:
Q: Can you tell us what specific experience in handling a crisis that you can point to that would make you better equipped to handle that White House phone at 3 a.m.?
A: Well, of coures, you know, I've got a lifetime of experience. Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience. Senator Obama's whole campaign is about one speech he made in 2002. You know, I was involved for fifteen years in, you know, foreign policy and security policy. you know, I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland. I negotiated open borders to let fleeing refugees into safey from Kosovo. I've been standing up against the Chinese Government over women's and standing up for human rights in many different places. I served on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and I was the only Senator, of either party, asked to be on an important task force put together by the Pentagon under this Administration to figure out what to do with our military going forward. I have so much exerience. I have experience traveling to more than 80 countries representing the United States, sitting down with Presidents and Prime Ministers and Kings, having the chance to represent our coutnry in some very dificult situations. I'm offering a lifetime of experience and I think that's a sharp contrast to my opponent's offer.

Her point is fair, but why the McCain reference? Is she shooting for a McCain VP position?

Not sure if this is a good poll or not, but it shows a close race.
Obama + 6 according to ARG, which means he's probably down at least 10 .... (and I say this an Obama supporter).
