1. I'm surprised it's actually even that close, but..

Hillary needs blowouts and it looks like Oregon and North Carolina will be blowouts for Obama. His Oregon lead will steadily increase if history tells us anything. Even PA is a virtual tie right now. Not good for Hillary.

2. Obama's lead is gonna increase.

Wonder when they can start voting by mail?

5. Our primary election is May 20.

We receive our ballots by mail roughly three weeks before the election.

3. Each time I hear, "The only way She can win is if she steals it",

makes me wonder which side is really tearing the party apart. Shame on those who put their candidate above beating the Fascist bastards...

8. Operation Chaos?

Naw, just kidding.

I think HRC has a pretty solid base in Portland, and has for years.

9. Obama - Eugene

I expect the Obama lead to increase by election day. At Eugene's Saturday Market there was a large booth for Obama and one for Steve Novick a progressive Democrat running for Senate. Clinton was in Eugene on Saturday, so that may be why there were no HRC supporters at the market.

I have seen one yard sign and two bumperstickers for Clinton in the Eugene area. About a dozen yard signs and bumperstickers for Obama in every parking lot.
