Hard to believe Oregon is more Democratic than South Dakota is Republican, but there it is...

On a side note, South Dakota completely sticks out like a sore thumb in the Democratic primaries map. It's maddening - every time I look at it I can't help but turn to damned South Dakota because it's the only state that doesn't fit at all.

I doubt there will be this large of a gap between SD and ND on Tuesday.
