We move to the west coast and take a look at Oregan. People seem to forget that Bush was just thousands of votes short of winning this state in 2000. In 2004, he also was short only by about 4 percent of the vote.Although I expect this state to stay blue in 2008, be careful because Oregan can be a state that slips up from under the democratic party. Who knows, it could even be a state that cost someone the White House...
