Oregon political trends thread

First of all, kudos on the great selection of Oregon-related information for introduction.

Do you accept (semi-obscure) electoral questions?

I was wondering why Josephine County/Grants Pass is so staunchly Republican?  It's oftentimes more reluctant to flip Dem than significantly more GOP parts of Eastern Oregon.  I've never been to Grants Pass, but from Google, it doesn't have the Republican "feel" of, say, Douglas or Linn Counties' cities.  Dems just seem to have a low ceiling in Josephine for some reason.

That's really obscure, but anything you can tell me about Grants Pass would be appreciated!
