Oregon is a diverse state which can go either Democrat or Republican in presidential elections and which I think has a congressional delegation representing both parties. You could call it a "swing state", falling about in the middle. The backwoods of Oregon are probably very conservative. Places like Eugene and parts of Portland would be more leftist. Some notable moderate Republicans have come from Oregon. It used to have chronically high unemployment, due to declining timber production or greater automation (I think). States with high unemployment are always ready to vote against incumbents for president, no matter which party.

Other notable things about Oregon: 1) my Mother graduated from the University of Oregon and 2) I will be in Klamath Falls, Oregon in a month, for vacation.
