Oregon is like other states in that it has large liberal cities that control state politics. Where I live in the southern part of the state is basically Conservative. Like the map of the US. The red has the real estate, and the blue has the population. I hope the States like Texas, and Florida and other Republican controlled states, don't go under as we have. But with Californians, and east coast states moving to places like FLA. and Texas, it can happen there as well. And remember southern Conservative states like Ga. are changing as well. We were once a republican state, but Cal. moved in, and brought their politics with them.The good old USA has seen some Baaaad changes in a short time.
