(45,319 posts)as did 88.87% of Democratic Oregonians voting. Now in NC Obama got less than here, just 79.2% of Democrats voted for him there. I wonder if many NC voters suffered from the incorrect impression you put forth here, that there was no primary?
Of course, that primary also involved your House Rep, local issues, and other candidates. No primary is 'one candidate'.
Only 435,000 Democrats in your State bothered to vote for a Democratic opponent to Burr. I hear your turn out was under 20%. Again, this 'we had no primary' crap harmed our turnout. Our low turn out energizes the other Party. The GOP celebrated our low turn out in the Tar Heel State. Their turn out was up. Ours was down.
I voted in my Democratic Primary. For Obama. Did you take a pass on voting this time around? Sounds that way.
