The Oregonian is reporting Obama is leading 60 percent to 40 percent in partial returns.
"The numbers keep him on course toward what many political analysts say is an inevitable win and a matchup against Republican Sen. John McCain in November.
Oregon's vote count capped what has been the most closely watched primary in 40 years. As one of the last primary states in the nation, Oregon became a crucial battleground this spring, and voters from Medford to Pendleton got numerous up-close opportunities to see the contenders and their families.
Intense interest in the Obama-Clinton battle sparked the highest voter turnout in 32 years among Democrats. Election officials reported 63 percent of Democrats cast their ballots. Overall turnout, including Republicans, stood at 48 percent late Tuesday, with more than 1 million voters casting primary ballots."
