Line from a letter to Willamette Week might explain why Oregon consistently elects Democrats:
One party rule: That’s because the R’s keep nominating folks out of step with Oregon. Some 20 years ago a former Republican elected official said: The Oregon Republican Party has been hijacked by an extreme right-wing Libertarian faction. So that no longer can it elect anyone in a statewide election. (I think since then, 2 R’s have been elected to a minor post.)
This leads me to think that Oregon Republicans are dunderheads more concerned with ideological purity than actually trying to improve our situation. Also, frogs like water and water, at least in cartoons, is blue.

When one becomes so diluted as to lose their distinction, what's the point?
(the salt lose it's savor)
However, if a candidate for elected office were to change their spots after winning the election, as the socialists do, what are the chances that they would be effective while in office, or win reelection, or be looked upon favorably by any side?
Be true to thy self, but not win election, or to do as aforementioned? I do not understand any other way. I am willing to learn.
