Obama coming back to Iowa to give The Speech

[Condem]

Tuesday night in Des Moines when he clinches this thing! Is this heaven? No, this is Iowa.

[Condem]

5. So Oregon loses its day in the sun? Oh well... ;-(

6. Oregon does vote-by-mail.. It kind of lessens the whole frenzy thing

I'm sure he'll swing by and thank them all.. Since his whole campaign STARTED in Iowa, I'm sure he has a fondness for Iowans, and he plans to win them again in Nov. so it makes sense to launch the next phase of the campaign..in Iowa..:)

7. So Oregon's being punished for having mailable countable paper ballots & clean elections?

I mean, Iowa ALREADY had ONE day in the national sun with it's oh-so-early primary that's the envy
of most states, now they want another, even when it's OREGON (and KY) that's putting him over the
top? huuurrrummph!

no worries, I'll get over it. ;-)

[Condem]

8. Everything to do with Oregon

It does put him over the top. Methinks, he's saying a very simple thank you to our humble state.

10. Does anyone have the link to see how many ballots have come in for Oregon?

[99th_Monkey]

11. Yep. Here tiz. But just for Mult. County (most of Portland)

It's now at 33% but many come in on last two days.

Don't know about a statewide counter. If I find one, I'll post it.
