Oregon: 88% Reporting, Clinton 42% - Obama 58% (UPDATED)

9:55am Central Time 5/21/08: The numbers are still sitting at Clinton 42% - Obama 58%.

12:46am Central Time: 68% of Oregon's precincts have reported and Senator Barack Obama has a 16% lead on Senator Hillary Clinton. Since Oregon is my home away from home, let's head over to CNN to have a look at their county-by-county map.

Obama is fairing well in the Portland metro area (Washington, Multnomah and Clackmas counties) and is leading in Clatsop (Astoria), Marion (Salem), Lane (Eugene), Deschutes (Bend), Jackson (Medford and Ashland), Wallowa (Enterprise), Union (La Grande) and Lincoln (Newport).

What this means is that Obama is winning every kind of county imaginable in Oregon: West versus East, urban and rural, white collar and blue collar, Coastal Range, Willamette Valley, Cascades, plains, desert and whatever you'd call Wallowa County, which is the gateway to Hell's Canyon.

Senator Clinton is also showing a broad diversity in Oregon, winning counties all across the state from the Coastal Range through the Willamette to the Cascades and southeastern Oregon. The only area where she looks like is having trouble is in the metro Portland area.
