6. Well, now Mainers I hope can breathe a sigh of relief

Looks like you have some solid Dems.

I was sad to see my Oregon go from solid D to likely... I'm trying to convince as many folks as possible, we lose Dem Governor, we're completely screwed, with a capital F and U!

Every assistance has already been cut. They're only getting the minimum now because of Dem Gov, that they despise.

7. Fellow Oregonian here.

Let’s do what we can to ensure Dems build a more comfortable lead - and then KEEP IT THAT WAY!!

13. We got to keep talking and fighting!
