IMO Knute did better than I thought he would which was a small surprise. Those 7 blue counties, IDK... my guess is they hold more population than the rest of the state?Right you are. Less than 120,000 votes. Dam it's disgusting seeing that tiny bit of Oregon making the decision for all that territory. And WORSE, is the brown thing ignoring such a large part of the states need.

Ive heard a saying I'm thinking is true, society always has a slight liberal bias... so Ive lost confidence Oregon will ever flip red. IMO somethings gotta change and adapt and I think the only hope is unaffiliated but I also think that Betsy has a slim chance, just the best chance. If she wins it will be by a slim margin. I do get an impression with some of my more moderate liberal friends they are fed up with the crime, inflation and even the mask control thing got to them. I think if all conservatives voted for Betsy the few moderate liberals that are fed up could possibly flip the state to unaffiliated.
Thats my theory anyways, and I'm not that confident enough conservatives will vote for Betsy. But I am, sadly... confident that no Republican will win Oregon's governorship.
