==Liberal Portland versus Conservative Eastern and Southwestern Oregon==
The high [[population density]] northwest areas of the state (Portland and Salem) are very [[liberal]] leaning especially in the area of [[environmentalism]]. The southwest area of the state (such as the [[Rogue Valley]], Josephine County and Jackson County) and the portion east of the [[Cascades]] are very conservative. Hence, [[Eastern Oregon]] ([[Palouse]], Harney Basin, High Desert, Treasure Valley and East Central Oregon) is considered to be part of the conservative [[American Redoubt]] area of the United States.
