Oregon Is Turning Republican

No, this state is Democratic and will stay so until the GOP ceases to be a religious party.

I'd have to agree. The Pacific Northwest has the largest proportion of nonreligious and atheists, which makes it difficult for anyone with strong religious viewpoints to win here easily.

Oregon is somewhat polarized like Washington, but not as extreme. There are some very conservative people and some very liberal people, just like any other place, but Oregon is not turning Republican currently.

The majority of people in Oregon are liberal, but by a slim margin. It's definitely not center-right, in fact I would say it's pretty libertarian with a more liberal lean like strangeland said.
