Edwards in Oregon


John Edwards is going to advertise in Oregon.

Consultant Joe Trippi told the Washington Post that the campaign will be running anti-war ads in Eugene, home of the University of Oregon and a cross between Asheville and Chapel Hill.

Chris Cillizza has the story on the Post's politics blog, The Fix:

Our guess is that Edwards is making a targeted strike in an area that is likely to be quite receptive to his strong anti-war message. The ad buy also has the added benefit of keeping his opponents' guessing about his strategy -- always a plus in the three-dimensional chess match that is presidential primary politics.

Oregon's vote-by-mail primary is on May 20, 2008.
