Larry, Wayne, David, and Jim are from Central Oregon. After Senator Obama's town hall meeting they stopped by our office to discuss their reasons for supporting him.

5. FYI, Bend is in Eastern Oregon, typically Red country.
Though, Bend is probably the liberal bastion of the East. They have one of the most egalitarian pubs in the state.

6. Bend is a somewhat bluer outpost in a sea of red eastern OR counties
As a former Oregon resident, I can attest to the fact that Democrats in Oregon are of the progressive variety. I don't sense a marked intra-party divide based on cultural or racial attitudes like one might find in West Virginia (bless 'em...) by any means. I look for Obama to do quite well there.

I also passed a lot of Hillary signs on my way to work. Don't get lazy, get out the vote.

7. Actually, the preferred designation by locals is "Central" Oregon...
Edited on Wed May-14-08 09:22 AM by Barrymores Ghost
Since it is literally the geographic center of the state. I grew up there. But you're right, the surrounding communities of Prineville, Redmond, Madras, Powell Butte, Terrebonne have all voted largely in the red, although Prineville (and Crook County) went for Carter in 1976. In fact, Crook County was, through Bush 41, I believe, a Presidential bellweather county since it first began to cast votes.

I was at the Descutes Brewery the day it first opened its doors downtown in 1988. Mmmmm......love the Black Butte Porter and the Mirror Pond Pale Ale...

12. As an ex-pilot, I never know how to repond
I usually go Beaver though, it so much more satisfying.
