DENVER -- Political strategist Len Bergstein weighed in on how Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's selection of U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) will play in Oregon on Tuesday.

"He's a great stump speaker, so I think he will have the kind of intense personal politics we are used to in Oregon," Bergstein said. "He's a great Democratic policy guy, and he's a really accessible politician."

Bergstein also said that Biden's stance toward Supreme Court judges will play well in Oregon.

"He knows how to make a case with Supreme Court justices, and that's a strong base issue for Democratic and unaffiliated voters," Bergstein said. "If we're seeing Obama visiting in Oregon close to the election, something is wrong with the campaign."

However, Bergstein believes the Democratic duo will make at least one trip to the Beaver State early in the fall in order to solidify their electoral hold on what Bergstein sees as a reliable state for them.

"The primary created a whole new voter base for them to target," Bergstein said. "They've got three really good states they can lock up with a forceful visit to the west coast."
