Oregon Belongs to Barack
Oregon is favored to seal 7 electoral votes for Barack come November 4th. Recently, the Lincoln County Democrats had a booth at the fairgrounds where enthusiasm and support for our most inspiring candidate was evident – demand for Obama stickers and buttons far exceeded the ample supply, and Barack’s “tall, handsome presence” generated numerous photograph requests, which were granted for free. Named for Abraham Lincoln, this county of rounded hills, narrow, winding coastal valleys, and plains broken at many points by rugged headlands rising abruptly from the Pacific Ocean, went for Obama during Oregon’s May 20th primary. County population is 46,200 with over 92% white, .5%, yes that’s .5%, African American (AA). I live in the coastal city of Depoe Bay, where the six acre harbor is the world’s smallest according to Guinness World Records, population is 1,355 with only one AA resident, who happens to be our mayor, and who also happens to be the only AA mayor in the whole state of Oregon.
Below are pictures taken by Stan, Rennie, Jan and me. Enjoy!
