It's a mixed bag. Moscow, Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint are more liberal. Kellogg/Wallace, Lewiston/Orofino, St. Maries are more conservative. (These are cultural not political attributes; Democrats are still strongest in the most culturally conservative, blue-collar mine/mill towns in Idaho.)
Bend, Salem, and Medford are pretty moderate, and most of the state really is a patchwork except eastern Oregon which is pretty darn tootin' conservative, as is Douglas (not Umpqua) County--actually the most conservative county in Southern Oregon by the numbers (if we count Klamath as Eastern Oregon--and I do).
