Kind of surprised Coos County voted no (and not especially close).  This used to be a hardcore Democratic area, and it now has a strong GOP lean.  Hardly seems like a candidate for such a weak performance for an English in Schools initiative...

Yea, I was going to say something about Coos County too. It had a liberal year for some reason.

According to that map, Coos voted 'no' with only 50.1%. The shadings can be misleading with only two options, compared to candidates where close races usually result in the winner getting below 50%, due to third party voting.

Anyhow, the result and map looks very similar to president with Coos and Deschutes voting McCain/No and Columbia and Marion voting Obama/yes, all by somewhat close margins.

Oops, I looked at the Clackamas line for Coos.  I'm still surprised it failed Coos, though, in either case.  Tongue

I'm surprised as Coos voting no, although narrowly, while at the same time Marion County swings against despite having backed Obama with one of the largest Latino populations in the state.
