Oregon Dem delegates relegated to the back of the floor
By Wally EdgeNational Democrats must think Oregon is already locked up for Dem nominee Barack Obama based on the Oregon delegation's seating at the national convention in Denver. Oregon delegates to the convention are upset with their seating placement on the convention floor at the Pepsi center and a few are making a stink. Oregon is placed behind Puerto Rico and next to American Samoa no where close to the podium. Here's hoping access to convention parties goes better.
