As desirable as it might be for the acquired territory, it'll never happen. Oregon will never in a million years give up the chance to dictate to those poor red county bastards. And since OR is so monumentally politically one sided by population, they won't see an upside in terms of ridding themselves of some nasty conservative voters. They don't need to. This way, the urbanites can retain their rural playgrounds and don't need to worry about the voters. Speaking for myself, if it did happen, I'd be left behind in the occupied territory, and without the (minimal) influence of the red counties. What a disaster that'd be.
