Hillary Clinton won just 1 Oregon county -- by 1 vote

In my state, this is the story today:

Hillary Clinton won just 1 Oregon county -- by 1 vote
Betsy Hammond | The Oregonian/OregonLive May 18, 2016 at 8:58 AM

As early-morning vote tallies roll in, results of Oregon's Democratic presidential primary paint a sobering picture for national Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton -- she won just one Oregon county, and won it by just one vote.

The tally from Gilliam County: Bernie Sanders 100, Clinton 101.

Sanders proved transcendent, winning all 35 other counties. With at least 85 percent of primary votes tallied, Sanders stomped Clinton in Oregon: 55 percent to 44 percent.

So much for the only statewide poll, conducted by DHM Research for public broadcasting superstar OPB. It predicted Clinton would win by 15 percentage points. How wrong can a pollster be?

1. yeah we Oregonians kept saying that poll was bogus.

And Hillaryans here kept touting it!

[litlbilly]

2. and my county, Washington, Bernie won by over 5k:)

[Vattel]

3. The sample in that poll was not representative. Not enough young people were polled.

[litlbilly]

5. thats the problem with most of their polls. NOt enough younger voters. Ca should be really

interesting to watch with indies allowed to vote.

[JudyM]

9. *****Indies CANNOT vote as indies in CA.*****They need to change registration to DEM by this MONDAY.

They can vote for Bernie if registered as "NPP" (no party preference) but NOT as indies.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. NPD is the state designation

but to make your point, there is an independent party (very, very, very right wing) in CA

[DLCWIdem]

18. uh oh. if you think your a independent in CA you better check your regs

Chances are if your an independent in California what your actually registerred for is the American Independence Party. If you are, congratulations, you belong to an anti immigration, anti-abortion segragationalist party. If your registerred for non-party preference your okay

[litlbilly]

21. they have had plenty of time to fix that. hoping they do

[Arugula Latte]

19. The other thing is, pollsters really don't seem to understand that we vote by mail.

100 percent.

No polling places.

Very little "physical turnout" -- except for the last few days of ballot dropping off.

[litlbilly]

4. the Hillary people are in full panic mode today. They always do after a huge win for Bernie. Seems

a lot dumber and nastier though. Wont be long before they are in full rovian mode if they aren't already.

[bobbobbins01]

6. I don't get it...they said they won...

but they keep freaking out. And this NV business is about the worst thing I've seen in a primary. The fear is palpable.

[L. Coyote]

11. They may be celebrating doing so much better than 2008 against Obama.

That scrubbing was 58.5% to 40.5% and probably still hurts.

[litlbilly]

13. You might be right

[bjo59]

27. This week's "beat down" seems pretty Rovian to me.

[TexasTowelie]

7. So?

There are at least three states in the South where Bernie did not win any county.

[L. Coyote]

10. So nothing, except it is so.

So it is.

[TexasTowelie]

36. I'm sure that there are many wonderful things about it.

Then there is that issue of Las Vegas to Reno to Pocatello becoming beachfront property after the next earthquake. We do have our own issues to deal with in Texas, but I'm happy to be on solid ground with no volcanoes nearby.

8. Pretty amazing it was that close, with Oregon being 'Bernie country'. So how did that win transfer

into delegates for Sanders?

[COLGATE4]

14. Didn't you hear??? It was a "huge win" for Bernie.

[L. Coyote]

15. No, it was a Yuuuge Win!

[JimDandy]

31. They never get the accent right. n/t

[Dem2]

16. Bernie only won Neckbeard by 12 points?

I kid - I don't really care about these silly "margins" posts. We'll see who wins in a few weeks.

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. Alaska, Idaho, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon.

Out of all those states, she wins one county.

Pitiful.

California? Not looking good, Clinton fans.

[XemaSab]

20. You can add Utah to that

n/t

[ContinentalOp]

22. what's that, like 31 electoral votes?

California is going to look more like Arizona or Nevada.

[frylock]

24. Yeah.. no. California isn't going to fuck up the election like those two states managed.

[frylock]

23. We don't like Hillary out West.

[ContinentalOp]

25. Do you live in CA?

We recalled our previously popular Dem governor and elected freaking Arnold Schwarzenegger because Enron told us to. We gave the world Nixon and Reagan! People in CA love big names and celebrity, and many people here are a lot more conservative than the stereotypes would have you believe. CA was ground zero of the tax revolt movement.

And we're not a majority white state like Washington or Oregon. Our population is under 40% non-hispanic white vs. over 70% for WA and OR. The demographics really don't favor Sanders.

And incidentally we've had two women representing us in the Senate for the past 24 years, both of whom have endorsed Clinton.

[frylock]

26. Yes, I live in CA.

No, I don't believe that Clinton is going to beat Sanders here.

[JimDandy]

33. LOL.

[frylock]

41. Oh, that is funny!

I've seen all of one Hillary sticker down here in LoCal, and that was 4 or 5 months ago. I've seen more support for Ted Cruz than I have for Hillary.

[L. Coyote]

37. We like Hillary just fine out west. Just as much if not more than in 2008

according to the voters. But, the voters like Bernie's ideas better, that much is certain. We will be getting a progressive platform this time, and the voters will like that in November too.

[FlatBaroque]

39. Not too fond of Her back East either.

[Zorra]

40. +1 nt

[silvershadow]

34. k&r

[Buzz cook]

35. If Bernie keeps winning like this

Hilllary's got the nomination locked.
