Willamette University, a very fine liberal arts college and law school. Arguably in the top two in Oregon, the other being Lewis and Clark College.

It's also the state capitol, and considerably more conservative than Portland or Eugene.

It was posted on twitter by a couple of people, so I don't know if it's true or not but wouldn't be surprised as she has done things like that before... puts on plays, uses finger puppets.

Sanders wins in Oregon.

Clinton claims victory in Kentucky. Call me a picker of nits, but winning and declaring victory are not the same thing.

Salem - Marion County - went 15,677 to 13,920, or 53% to 47% for Sanders.

Far, far cry from the anomalous 98%-2%.
