Nader got 5% of the vote in Oregon in 2000 - but Nader isn't a LIBERTARIAN - he was a GREEN. The Libertarian candidate in 2000 (Harry Brown) got just 1/2 of ONE percent in 2000.
Got something else for you...Portlandia likes Johnson's "free the weed" message also. We'll just have to see if that matters or not since Obama can only win Oregon by winning Portland and Eugene.
What was Nader turnout in 2000? These are "principle above all" people and it's a big mistake to poll people in Portlandia with only two options. Furthermore, it's pure arrogance to assume that translates directly without at least a 5% play in the polls. Seattle is more orderly liberal and tend to be more pragmatic and robotic-like, filing in order with the establishment.
Again, it's a 5-1 odds play in my estimate, and I would take a bet with ANYONE on C/D if they gave 10-1 odds and a way to pay up if I win.
Obama will want words with whomever in Seattle is passing this initiative.
I would gladly bet that Oregon goes blue, heck I would give you 20-1 odds.

Sure thing! We'll be gambling for charity, since it's not illegal to do so. Proof must be provided with a scanned receipt. It also makes welching a lot worse on one's public record here in C/D. Pick a charity, mention it here, and I'll do the same.

Actually, you pick the charity I must donate and I do the same for you (depending on who wins). That's the rules.
Ronald McDonald house if I win, ACLU if you win. Bragging rights of course. $10 on my side, $200 on your side. I DARE the mods to delete a pitch for charity.
Anyone else want in on this?
