Indeed, Oregon is a "deeply" Blue state.  Just as many midwestern states are "deeply" Red.  Whether a Republican with good ideas can be elected in Oregon is "untested" in recent years.

If Mr. Robinson, the man promoting collecting your urine and placing radiation in your homes' foundations, is the best you can find to oppose Rep.
