Reply #69: I have a sister living in Vancouver, WA. [View All]

Washington has a sales tax but no income tax. Oregon is the opposite, no sales tax but has an income tax. Advantages to living, and doing business, on either side of the Columbia.

I also have a sister living in Battle Ground, WA and and another in Bothell, WA. All three sisters, white septuagenarians, are voting for Obama. Took a little persuading with one of them but she's come around.

Washington caucuses are interesting, Oregon's mail-in primary voting is progressive.

My home is in southern California but make many trips to the Pacific Northwest...beautiful country.

I for one think caucuses are great. Tend to weed out the information-deficient and Rush Limbaugh chaos types.

My relatives and acquaintances, in the Pacific Northwest guarantee me that Obama will easily carry WA and OR. We know that he'll win in California, e.g., we on the Pacific coast are a very smart bunch.

Oh yeah, I was born in Honolulu, T.H., that ages me. We can also chalk up Hawaii for Obama.
