Wow, I thought Oregon was one of the states he could make some real
headway in.

You make an important point.  He should have another month to go in
Texas.  By first reports, the Greens I know who are petitioning for their
party, not Nader, encountered a fair amount hostility over Nader.  There
was a rumor, which I can't confirm, that he approached the Greens to do
his petition drive here.  He came through San Antonio in mid-March and
made his pitch to the local college campuses then.  This was the middle
of spring break for most and after the primaries.  There is about a two
month stretch between the primaries and the petition deadline.
