Democratic KY / OR primary results thread (first polls close at 6pm ET)

Clinton up in clackamas county

[RINO Tom]

As a Clinton supporter, it annoys/concerns me how much rural and Conservative Democrats have abandoned her in Appalachia. Why would they vote for a socialist anyway? They don't agree with his policies certainly.

I think the actual question should be, why have so many rural and small town Democrats feel that the Democratic Party has abandoned them?

I spent much of my life in small town and rural Oregon and recall vividly how many lifelong Democrats in Southern Oregon, including many union members in Coos and Douglas county, felt that the Democratic president (Clinton) was taking the side of radical environmentalists versus working people.

Needless to say, the Timber industry and local Republican politicians tried to present the argument as jobs versus the environment, rather than talk frankly about the actual economic situation and why the logging and mill jobs were disappearing.

I see many similarities between the decline of the Timber industry in the PacNW and what is happening currently within Coal Country.

And quite frankly, these are parts of the country where the Unions came in after several generations of blood, sweat, and tears and " Ain't Done Nothing If You Ain't Been Called A Red" doesn't actually hold water with the history of the IWW, ILWU, UMWA, etc...

Socialist is a word that the company bosses and operators have been throwing around for a 100 years in many parts of the country to describe anyone that is a Union Man.

Especially with Clinton and Trump as the symbols of what their parties stand for, the Democratic party and the Republican party are increasing the upscale and downscale parties respectively. Democrats are the party of the cosmopolitans, the professional class, the white collar voters. Republicans are the party of the blue collar, non-college educated, poor rural America.

LOL, Republicans consistently win the most affluent voters.  2014, 2012, 2010 all GOP landslides among wealthy voters.

Marion glitched out at 98-2 Sanders.

"ISN'T SALEM WHERE THEY BURN THE WITCHEZ??!!!!!!!!!!!1!!"

It would be nice if Oregon gets their results in as quick as it seems. I am having fun, but it is getting late...

clinton is winning washingon and clackamas

[MasterJedi]

Glitch fixed, Sanders barely up in Marion. Up a little over 5% overall.

[Crumpets]

clinton is winning washingon and clackamas

That's pretty amazing. I wonder what demographics are pulling her over the top there.

[NOVA Green]

As I said before, key to winning statewide elections in Oregon is getting close to even in the suburbs and exceeding downstate....

still waiting for Southern Oregon (Douglas and Jackson counties) to kick in as well as Linn county and some non bogus numbers from Marion.

Sanders numbers in SE Oregon appear to bode well for offsetting Obama style numbers in Multnomah

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

NYT isn't giving the precinct numbers.  Grrrr.

[ElectionsGuy]

It looks like somebody forgot the first two digits when reporting Hillary's Marion County number.

[ag]

NYT isn't giving the precinct numbers.  Grrrr.

they do not have precincts.

[Crumpets]

Harney County coming in for Sanders. You would have thought they would have learned their lesson with revolutionary extremists.

[ag]

Marion glitched out at 98-2 Sanders.

This has to be a glitch?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

NYT isn't giving the precinct numbers.  Grrrr.

they do not have precincts.

...Oh yeah.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Marion glitched out at 98-2 Sanders.

This has to be a glitch?

Um, yes

[ag]

Marion glitched out at 98-2 Sanders.

This has to be a glitch?

CNN has corrected this to 50/50.

[HAnnA MArin County]

Bernie only winning Portland by 8% points. 

Sad!

[yourelection]

This is at the moment a little closer than I expected.

[NOVA Green]

This thing is over.... only a question on the margins,

Tied in the Portland suburbs, exceptional Bernie results downstate, including medium size population centers in Jackson and Douglas counties.

Linn county was a major bellweather, and Benton county should be a 70-30 Bernie county.

[MasterJedi]

Bernie only winning Portland by 8% points. 

Sad!

Would be landsliding if it was a closed caucus. Primaries allow people to vote privately and not be bullied by the Sanderistas.

[BundouYMB]

Bernie only winning Portland by 8% points. 

Sad!

Would be landsliding if it was a closed caucus. Primaries allow people to vote privately and not be bullied by the Sanderistas.

Primaries also enable a large number of people to vote, period.

[ag]

Sanders will win, but it will not be a big win. 1-1 close split for the night. A low single-digit gain in delegates for Sanders?

[Fusionmunster]

Non viable my ass.

[Crumpets]

Wow. Bernie losing in Bend, Granolastan? Must be all the richies.

[Hydera]

Those polls were a fluke. However to sink berniebot's hopes.

No caucus+Closed Primary+Mail in ballot = No bernie loopside win in Oregon.
