Border Town

I don't mean towns on the US/Mexico or the US/Canada Border.
No, I'm talking about people who live on the borders of states.

I live on the border of Washington/Oregon, but Portland is the closest big city to me. So all I see on the news is Portland, Oregon news. All political commercials on TV are for Portland, or Oregon races.

This election cycle I can't tell you who the Washington candidates for governor are, or what measures we're voting on. (Have gotten very few mailers even, surprisingly.)

But, I can name all of the candidates for Portland's mayor and city council. I can also tell you what measures Oregonians will be voting on.
It doesn't help matters much that I work in Portland and read the newspaper there.

I figure people who live in Kansas City, KS have the same problem.
