Open Thread: A Good Day in Oregon
In between the incredible rally this morning with Bill Richardson in Portland and the event tonight in Eugene, Barack found time to visit the American Dream pizzeria in Coravallis.
From the Washington Post:
With the endorsement of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson in hand, Obama paid a dusk visit Friday night to the American Dream pizzeria in Corvallis, home to Oregon State University. It was back to Rock Star Obama, as the candidate was mobbed. Lauren Beyer, 23, gushed that she is planning to change her lifelong Republican registration so she can vote for him in the May 20 Democratic primary. “It’s all about change. It’s someone who can come and actually talk to America,” she swooned, as Obama made his way slowly around the restaurant. “It’s hope. It’s hope.”
Jerry Middel, 50, had already switched his party registration from independent to Democrat for Obama’s sake.
“He had a good day…” Middel said, watching the pandemonium with a satisfied smile.
If you live in Oregon, there’s still time to register as a Democrat before the April 29th deadline.
