For some educational interest to other parts of the USA here, Oregon is a divided state. There is the state's one huge population center, the Portland area. This is also known as "Moscow by the Willamette". Then there is the rest of the state. Other than a pair of university towns, Eugene and Corvallis, it's pretty conservative. "Moscow by the Willamette" outrules the rest of the state in voting power. Especially in Multnomah county, where I suspect vote hanky-panky. So, many of us are prisoners in paradise, even if we were born here, like my wife. My apologies to Doug, but he doesn't reflect the opinion of all who live in Oregon...
