how oregon doesn't really matter

Might be time to pack up and figure out which Cabinet position you want.

The NYT explains how very, very little Oregonians' presidential primary votes really matter: Obama Pulls Even With Clinton in Superdelegates.

Even DaFaz finally made his choice:

On Thursday, Mr. Obama picked up the support of Representative Donald Payne of New Jersey, who told The Star-Ledger of Newark that he was switching away from Mrs. Clinton after thinking through “one of the most difficult decisions I have made.” Peter DeFazio, an Oregon congressman, also said he would back Mr. Obama.

Though hey, if it drives "turnout" (send-in?) for local elections, I'm for the belief that we can make some kind of difference in choosing the Democratic nominee. Because despite Jim Torrey's gag-inducing attempt to equate himself with Obama (is there enough laughter and scorn for those stupid effing signs that say, Yes, Eugene, We Can?), I doubt most Obama voters, or Clinton voters, will vote for Torrey.

And see Alan's posts about why voting for Torrey, who wants to fund more police (um ... check out the YouTube videos Alan is about to post to see why JUST MAYBE, more police aren't what Eugene needs), would be a very bad idea.

Anyway, point is, while I am not a big Obama fan, there's just no contest anymore.
