In primaries past, the candidates wouldn't visit more than once in small states. Now that everything is up in the air, the two candidates are forced to pay attention to the small guys. If we're so lucky to still be in the mix, Oregon will actually become center-stage, late in the season! Now how about that?!?!
Small states have needs that often go unheard and unseen by the beltway powers-that-be. Can you imagine, McCain is already on the path of national matters, completely bypassing the point of listening to the concerns of people in small cities and rural areas. I see this as a distinct advantage to the Democratic candidates, as they will get a very good feel for what the people think.
