Party-Switching for Oregon Primaries

 Amid reports that large numbers of Oregon Republicans, assured that Sen. John McCain now has the Republican nomination, are switching parties to vote in the Democratic primary this May, a lapsed Democrat is also doing the same. State Senator Avel Gordly left the party over disagreements in partisanship, reports the Associate Press, but has re-registered in order to vote for Sen. Barack Obama—whom she calls a “unifier” in the May 20 primary.
