NYT: Oregon "In Play" in 2012 Election

June 9, 2012

Real Clear Politics has established Oregon as a toss up state, Congressman Greg Walden on the campaign trail calling Oregon “in play” recently (listen to my show from Friday at “Noon O’clock” where I excerpt Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Walden) and now the influential 538 blog at the New York Times(!!!) concedes Oregon is  “in play” in the upcoming Presidential election. (HT Orbusmax):

If there is an unheralded state that could be in play this year, it might be Oregon. Oregon has been sparsely polled, but the most recent survey found a tight race there, and the state has been extremely competitive in the past — like in 2000 when Al Gore won it by less than a full percentage point.

Democrats are looking bad because their President is doing badly. But remember, Oregon is in play only to the extent that the Republican Party elbows its way IN to play.

Oregon Republicans have the same Get Out The Vote (GOTV) software and ground game deployed so successfully in Wisconsin.

All it takes is the desire to win our country back and slow the Oregon one party rule.
