Police officers in Portland, Ore., are calling for an apology from the Barack Obama campaign after they noticed several porta-potties set up on the site of a memorial honoring fallen officers at his massive campaign rally two weeks ago.

FOX 12 in Oregon reported that Thomas Brennan with the Portland police and other officers have complained that portable toilets were placed on the same ground where a memorial service was held just days before the rally. Brennan told FOX 12 the flag still was at half-mast the day of the campaign event.

That rally attracted close to 80,000 people, making it the largest of Obama’s campaign.

“Not for a moment do I think that Mr. Obama had anything to do with this,” Brennan said. “But somebody at his campaign at a local level made the decision to put them there. And I just want an acknowledgement: ‘Hey, we made a mistake.’”

A campaign representative told FOX 12 that the porta-potties were placed on the site out of concern for wheelchair access.

The person said no one had responded to the officers because local offices are shut down until Obama clinches the nomination.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The speaker of the Oregon House on Tuesday narrowly won a chance to challenge the sole GOP senator on the West Coast, defeating a fiery political activist who made light of the fact that he has a metal hook for a left hand.

Across the country in Kentucky, a millionaire businessman who grew up on a tobacco farm captured that state’s Democratic Senate nomination, winning a crack at Republican leader Mitch McConnell, the powerful four-term incumbent with a big campaign bankroll.

In the Oregon primary, House Speaker Jeff Merkley ran as the establishment candidate after he was recruited by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to try to unseate Republican Sen. Gordon Smith in the fall.

With 65 percent of precincts reporting, Merkley had nearly 46 percent of the vote, compared with 41 percent for Steve Novick, who gained traction with lighthearted campaign videos that poked fun at the prosthesis he uses because of birth defects.

Smith, who easily beat a token challenger, is the only Republican holding statewide office in Oregon, which has voted more Democratic in recent elections. He has pledged to raise $10 million or more for his re-election to a third term.

Elsewhere in Oregon, a testy congressional contest took shape in the state’s 5th District, where Democratic Rep. Darlene Hooley’s surprise retirement set the stage for one of the most competitive House races in the country.

Mike Erickson, a wealthy businessman, won the Republican nomination despite allegations by an opponent that Erickson got a girlfriend pregnant, then paid for her abortion.

Erickson denied the accusations, calling them a desperate campaign attack by rival Kevin Mannix, a former lawmaker and state GOP chairman.

In the fall, Erickson will go up against Democratic state Sen. Kurt Schrader, chairman of the Legislature’s budget-writing committee, who beat a longtime adviser to former Gov. John Kitzhaber.

In the contest to challenge McConnell, Bruce Lunsford handily defeated seven other Democrats, including Greg Fischer, a Louisville entrepreneur who made a fortune partly by co-inventing an ice and beverage dispenser now commonplace in restaurants.

Lunsford and Fischer both put some of their personal fortunes into their campaigns.

McConnell, the Senate’s top Republican, easily defeated his sole opponent in the GOP primary, little-known truck driver Daniel Essek.

The fall matchup between McConnell and Lunsford could turn into a bruising, free-spending fight. McConnell raised more than $12 million in campaign cash through March. Lunsford spent about $14 million of his own money in his gubernatorial campaigns in 2003 and 2007. He failed to advance beyond the primary both times.

Lunsford touted his humble roots growing up on a Kentucky tobacco farm and working on a road crew to help put him through college. But he also has a jet-set lifestyle as a partner in a movie production company.

In Arkansas, an appeals court judge was voted off the bench after waging a battle over the last six years with a state ethics panel over whether he had a right to speak publicly on non-judicial issues such as the war in the Iraq.

Tuesday’s re-election was the first for Judge Wendell Griffen since he was questioned by the panel about comments criticizing the Bush administration. The Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission eventually dropped the matter.

Griffen was appointed to the appellate court in 1996 and won re-election without opposition in 2000.

Back in Kentucky, former Rep. Carroll Hubbard, who served more than two years in federal prison following the House banking scandal, won a place on the November ballot for a state Senate seat.

Hubbard, who started his political career representing the district nearly 40 years ago, was defeated in the 1992 Democratic primary because of fallout from the scandal.

Hillary Clinton scored a blowout victory in the Kentucky Democratic primary Tuesday, hours before Barack Obama confidently claimed a majority of pledged delegates for the Democratic nomination with a win in Oregon.

Obama was winning by about 16 points with 86 percent of the votes in, in Oregon’s all mail-in primary.

The Obama campaign quickly calculated Tuesday evening that it had achieved what it called a critical “milestone” in Obama’s seemingly inexorable march toward the nomination. With the expected results from Oregon, Obama has a majority of the pledged delegates, but not a majority among all delegates.

Obama will still be 60-70 delegates short of a majority among all delegates to the convention — both the pledged and the unpledged superdelegates  — when Oregon votes are fully counted.

The Democratic front-runner claimed Tuesday night at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that he had captured most of the pledged delegates at stake in the 56 Democratic contests.

“We have returned to Iowa with a majority of delegates elected by the American people, and you have put us within reach of the Democratic nomination for president of the United States,” Obama declared at the site of his Jan. 3 caucus triumph.

His decision to hold his primary-night rally in a state the campaign considers important to Democrats in November was a sign that Obama is looking straight ahead to the general election.

In his address, he attempted to reach out to Clinton and urge Democrats to unite against presumptive GOP nominee John McCain.

“We’ve had our disagreements during this campaign, but we all admire her courage, and her commitment and her perseverance,” Obama said of Clinton. “And no matter how this primary ends, Senator Clinton has shattered myths and broken barriers and changed the America in which my daughters and your daughters will come of age. And for that we are grateful to her.”

The campaign claimed the pledged-delegate milestone earlier in an e-mail to supporters, as his aides touted the achievement.

“I don’t think anybody has ever won the majority of pledged delegates and have not been the nominee of the party, so it’s obviously very important, but we are going to fight for every delegate and finish out the process,” Obama strategist David Axelrod told reporters.

But Clinton won the Kentucky primary by a better than 2-to-1 margin. The win comes one week after Clinton trounced Obama by 41 points in West Virginia, exposing the Democratic front-runner’s weaknesses among whites, working-class voters and other groups.

“Tonight we’ve achieved an important victory,” Clinton told an enthusiastic crowd at her victory rally earlier in Louisville, Ky. “It’s not just Kentucky bluegrass that’s music to my ears, it’s the sound of your overwhelming vote of confidence, even in the face of some pretty tough odds.”

With 100 percent of precincts reporting in Kentucky, Clinton won 65-30 percent.

Seventy-one percent of white voters, 78 percent of seniors and 68 percent of voters without college degrees went for Clinton in Kentucky, according to FOX News exit polls.

The exit polls showed that 64 percent of Clinton voters still think she will win the Democratic nomination.

Clinton’s performance Tuesday — and its campaign financing haul for the month of April — gave the campaign the wind it needs to stay in the race.

“I’m more determined than ever to see that every vote is cast and every ballot counted,” Clinton said Tuesday, again claiming she has the popular vote lead. She claims that lead by counting the Michigan and Florida primaries, which were discounted because the states held early contests in violation of party rules.

Party officials are scheduled to meet later this month to consider how — or whether — to seat all or part of the states’ delegates, and the Clinton campaign is continuing to fight for those states’ delegates.

“We’re back. We continue to raise money, we continue to win states. This thing goes on. I don’t know why people are saying this is over,” Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told FOX News.

McAuliffe earlier told reporters that campaign finance filings will show April was Clinton’s second-best fundraising month of the race. Her campaign later said she earned $22 million for the month. In April, Obama raised more than $31 million for the primary race.

With her Kentucky victory, Clinton picked up at least 33 delegates to at least 14 for Obama with an additional four yet to be awarded.

But Obama still leads overall and has steadily picked up momentum as he drives toward the 2,026 delegates needed to become the nominee of his party.

As Oregon was tallied, Obama had 1,956 total delegates, putting him within 100 of the 2,026 needed. The former first lady had 1,775.

Obama weeks ago predicted Clinton would win Kentucky. The Clinton campaign similarly indicated that Obama would likely win Oregon, where Obama invested his time and drew a crowd estimated at 75,000 over the weekend

The Beaver State has 52 delegates. It also had the distinction of staging the only contest without a designated polling day. Instead, under a vote-by-mail system, election officials tallied all ballots received by 11 p.m. on primary day.

The only primaries remaining are in Puerto Rico, on June 1, followed two days later by South Dakota and Montana.

Republicans, too, were holding primary contests in Oregon and Kentucky, but these were “beauty contests,” as McCain wrapped up the nomination more than two months ago.

BARACK OBAMA: How’s it going, Iowa? (APPLAUSE)

It is good to be back in Iowa.

(APPLAUSE)

I love you back, Iowa.

(APPLAUSE)

First of all, let me say thank you to Candy Smeeter (ph) for the wonderful introduction and the unbelievable work that she did on behalf of our campaign, and still does.

There are too many good friends and people who work tirelessly on my behalf to thank. You know who you are individually.

I just want to say, first of all, thank you, to all of you, for the great work that you did in helping to kick off this campaign.

And I do want to take a point of personal privilege and just say that I sure have a nice-looking wife and kids.

(APPLAUSE)

You know, there is a spirit that brought us here tonight, a spirit of change, and hope, and possibility. And there are few people in this country who embody that spirit more than our friend and our champion, Senator Edward Kennedy.

(APPLAUSE)

He has spent his life in service to this country, not for the sake of glory or recognition, but because he cares, deeply in his gut, about the causes of justice, and equality, and opportunity.

So many of us here have benefited in some way or another because of the battles he’s waged and some of us are here because of them. And we know he’s not well right now, but we also know that he’s a fighter.

And as he takes on this fight, let us lift his spirits tonight by letting Ted Kennedy know that we are thinking of him, that we are praying for him, that we are standing with him and Vicky, and that we will be fighting with him every step of the way.

(APPLAUSE)

You know, 15 months ago, in the depths of winter, it was in this great state where we took the first steps of an unlikely journey to change America.

The skeptics predicted we wouldn’t get very far. The cynics dismissed us as a lot of hype and a little too much hope. And by the fall, the pundits in Washington had all but counted us out.

But the people of Iowa had a different idea.

(APPLAUSE)

From the very beginning, you knew that this journey wasn’t about me or any of the other candidates in this race. It was about whether this country, at this defining moment, will continue down the same road that has failed us for so long or whether we will seize this opportunity to take a different path, to forge a different future for this country that we love.

That’s the question that sent thousands upon thousands of you to high school gyms and VFW halls, to backyards and front porches, to steak fries and J.J. dinners, where you spoke about what the future would look like.

You spoke of an America where working families don’t have to file for bankruptcy just because a child gets sick, where they don’t lose their home because some predatory lender tricks them out of it, where they don’t have to sit on the sidelines of the global economy because they couldn’t afford the cost of a college education.

You spoke of an America where our parents and our grandparents don’t spend their retirement in poverty because some CEO dumped their pension, an America where we don’t just value wealth, but we value work and the workers who create it, as well.

(APPLAUSE)

You spoke of an America where we don’t send our sons and daughters on tour after tour of duty to a war that has cost us thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, but has not made us safer.

(APPLAUSE)

You spoke of an America where we matched the might of our military with the strength of our diplomacy and the power of our ideals, a nation that is still the beacon of all that is good and all that is possible for humankind.

You spoke of a future where the politics we have in Washington finally reflects the values we hold as Americans, the values you live by here in Iowa: common sense and honesty, generosity and compassion, decency and responsibility.

These values don’t belong to one class or one region or even one party. They are the values that bind us together as one country.

That is the country…

(APPLAUSE)

That’s the country I saw in the faces of crowds that would stretch far into the horizon of our heartland, faces of every color, of every age, faces I see here tonight.

(APPLAUSE)

You’re Democrats who are tired of being divided, but you’re also Republicans who no longer recognize the party that runs Washington, and independents who are hungry for change.

(APPLAUSE)

You’re the young people who’ve been inspired for the very first time…

(APPLAUSE)

… and those not-so-young folks who’ve been inspired for the first time in a long time.

(APPLAUSE)

You’re veterans and churchgoers, sportsman and students, farmers and factory workers, teachers and business owners, who have varied backgrounds and different traditions, but the same simple dreams for your children’s future.

Many of you have been disappointed by politics and politicians more times than you can count. You’ve seen promises broken, good ideas drowned in the sea of influence and point-scoring and petty bickering that’s consumed Washington.

And you’ve been told over and over and over again to be cynical, and doubtful, and even fearful about the possibility that things can ever be different, can ever be better.

And yet, in spite of all the doubt and disappointment, or perhaps because of it, you came out on a cold winter’s night in January, in numbers that this country has never seen, and you stood for change.

(APPLAUSE)

You stood for change. And because you did, a few more stood up, and then a few thousand stood up, and then a few million stood up.

(APPLAUSE)

And tonight, Iowa, in the fullness of spring, with the help of those who stood up from Portland to Louisville, we have returned to Iowa with a majority of delegates elected by the American people…

(APPLAUSE)

… and you have put us within reach of the Democratic nomination for president of the United States of America.

(APPLAUSE)

AUDIENCE: Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!

OBAMA: You know, the road here has been long. There have been some bumps along the way. I’ve made some mistakes.

But also it’s partly because we’ve traveled this road with one of the most formidable candidates to ever run for this office.

You know, in her 35 years of public service, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has never given up on her fight for the American people. And tonight I congratulate her on her victory in Kentucky.

You know, we’ve had our disagreements during this campaign, but we all admire her courage, and her commitment, and her perseverance. And no matter how this primary ends, Senator Clinton has shattered myths and broken barriers and changed the America in which my daughters and your daughters will come of age, and for that we are grateful to her.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, some may see the millions upon millions of votes cast for each of us as evidence that our party is divided. But I see it as proof that we have never been more energized and united in our desire to take this country in a new direction.

(APPLAUSE)

More than anything, we need this unity and this energy in the months to come, because, while our primary has been long and hard- fought, the hardest and most important part of our journey still lies ahead.

We face an opponent, John McCain, who arrived in Washington nearly three decades ago as a Vietnam War hero and earned an admirable reputation for straight talk and occasional independence from his party.

But this year’s Republican primary was a contest to see which candidate could out-Bush the other, and that’s a contest that John McCain won.

The Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans that once bothered John McCain’s conscience are now his only economic policy.

The Bush health care plan that only helps those who are already healthy and wealthy is now John McCain’s answer to the 47 million Americans without insurance and the millions more who can’t pay their medical bills.

The Bush Iraq policy that asks everything from our troops and nothing of Iraqi politicians is John McCain’s policy, too. And so is the fear of tough and aggressive diplomacy that has left this country more isolated and less secure than at any time in recent history.

(APPLAUSE)

The lobbyists who ruled George Bush’s Washington are now running John McCain’s campaign. And they actually had the nerve the other day to say that the American people won’t care about this.

Talk about out of touch. I think the American people care plenty about that.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, I will leave it up to Senator McCain to explain to the American people whether his policies and positions represent long-held convictions or Washington calculations, but the one thing they don’t represent is change.

Change is a tax code that rewards work instead of wealth, by cutting taxes for middle-class families, and senior citizens, and struggling homeowners, a tax code that rewards businesses that create good jobs here in America, instead of the corporations that ship them overseas. That’s what change is.

(APPLAUSE)

AUDIENCE: Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can!

OBAMA: Change is a health care plan that guarantees insurance to every American who wants it, that brings down premiums for every family who needs it, that stops insurance companies from discriminating and denying coverage to those who need it most. That’s what change is.

(APPLAUSE)

Change is an energy policy that doesn’t rely on buddying up to the Saudi royal family and then begging them for oil, an energy policy…

(APPLAUSE)

Change is an energy policy that puts a price on pollution and makes the oil companies invest their record profits in clean, renewable sources of energy that will create millions of new jobs and leave our children a safer planet. That’s what change is, Iowa.

(APPLAUSE)

Change is giving every child a world-class education by recruiting an army of new teachers with better pay and more support, by promising four years of tuition to any American willing to serve their community and their country, by realizing that the best education starts with parents who turn off the TV, and take away the video games, and read to their children once in a while. That’s what change is.

(APPLAUSE)

Change is ending a war that we never should have started.

(APPLAUSE)

Change is finishing a war against Al Qaida in Afghanistan that we never should have ignored.

(APPLAUSE)

Change is facing the threats of the 21st century, not with bluster or fear-mongering or tough talk or suspending due process, but with tough diplomacy and strong alliances and confidence in the ideals that have made this nation the last best hope on Earth.

That is the legacy of Roosevelt and Truman and Kennedy. That, Iowa, is what change is. That is the choice in this election.

(APPLAUSE)

The same question that first led us to Iowa 15 months ago is the one that’s brought us back here tonight. It’s the one we will debate from Washington to Florida, from New Hampshire to New Mexico, the question of whether this country, at this moment, will keep doing what we’ve been doing for four more years or whether we will take that different path.

It’s more of the same versus change. It’s the past versus the future. It has been asked and answered by generations before us. And now it is our turn to choose.

We will face our share of difficult and uncertain days in the journey ahead. The other side knows they have embraced yesterday’s policies, so they will also embrace yesterday’s tactics to try and change the subject.

They’ll play on our fears and our doubts. They’ll try to sow discord and division to distract us from what matters to you and your future.

Well, they can take the low road if they want, but it will not lead this country to a better place. It will not work in this election. It won’t work because you will not let it work, not this time, not this year.

(APPLAUSE)

AUDIENCE: Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can!

OBAMA: My faith in the decency and honesty and generosity of the American people is not based on false hope or blind optimism, but on what I’ve lived and what I’ve seen in this very state.

For in the darkest days of this campaign, when we were dismissed by all the polls and all the pundits, I would come to Iowa and see that there was something happening here that the world did not yet understand.

(APPLAUSE)

It’s what led high school and college students to give up their vacations to stuff envelopes and knock on doors.

(APPLAUSE)

It’s why grandparents have spent all their afternoons making phone calls to perfect strangers. It’s what led men and women who can barely pay their bills to dig into their savings and write $5 checks and $10 checks and why young people from all over this country have left their friends and their families for a job that offers little pay and less sleep.

Iowa, change is coming to America.

(APPLAUSE)

Change is coming.

It’s the spirit that sent the first patriots to Lexington and Concord and led the defenders of freedom to light the way north on an Underground Railroad.

It’s what sent my grandfather’s generation to beachheads in Normandy, and women to Seneca Falls, and workers to picket lines and factory fences.

It’s what led all those young men and women who saw beatings and billy-clubs on their television screens to leave the safety of their homes and get on buses and march through the streets of Selma and Montgomery, black and white, rich and poor.

(APPLAUSE)

Change is coming to America, Iowa.

(APPLAUSE)

It’s what I saw all those years ago on the streets of Chicago when I worked as an organizer, that in the face of joblessness and hopelessness and despair, a better day is still possible, if there are people who are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it.

That’s what I’ve seen here in Iowa. That’s what is happening in America.

Our journey may be long. Our work will be great. But we know in our hearts we are ready for change. We are ready to come together. And in this election, we are ready to believe again.

Thank you, Iowa. And God bless you. God bless America. Thank you.

Hillary Clinton and her supporters remained defiant Tuesday as Barack Obama appeared ready to capture an insurmountable majority of pledged delegates once the results of the Kentucky and Oregon primaries are known.

Obama, who has increasingly been focusing his attention on presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, arranged an evening appearance in Iowa, site of his critical Jan. 3 caucus triumph. He will likely announce he’s won most of the delegates at stake in all 56 contests on the campaign calendar.

But the Clinton campaign saw the Democratic race differently.

Campaigning with his wife in Kentucky, former President Bill Clinton dismissed the claim that Obama would clinch the majority of pledged delegates.

“There won’t be tonight, unless you decapitate Michigan and Florida, which violates our values and is dumb politics,” the former president said.

Click here to see photos from the Kentucky and Oregon primaries.

Hillary Clinton hopes to finish with more votes than her rival in all the contests combined, including Florida and Michigan, which were stripped of their delegates for holding their primaries before Feb. 5.

“This is nowhere near over,” she said on Monday.

Clinton will likely get prime-time coverage Tuesday night. Favored in all polls to win Kentucky, she has scheduled a rally in Louisville for 8 p.m. ET, one hour after the voting ends in that state.

Obama will not speak in Iowa until more than two hours later. First results in Oregon, where he is favored, are not expected until 11 p.m. ET.

In a full page ad in The New York Times, Clinton’s female supporters demanded she stay in the race despite overwhelming odds.

“We want Hillary to stay in this race until every vote is cast, every vote is counted, and we know that our voices are heard,” said the ad, paid for by the WomenCount political action committee.

But the nomination is rapidly moving out of Clinton’s grasp.

A new Gallup national tracking poll suggests that voters are beginning to accept Obama as the inevitable Democratic nominee.

The poll, taken from May 16-18, showed him with a record 16-point lead over Clinton — that’s compared with a 4-point lead over Clinton in early May.

The poll also showed Obama was starting to eat into Clinton’s base. Though she normally pulls women, Hispanics, seniors and other groups, the only major group still supporting her by 51 percent or more in the Gallup poll was women who are 50 years old and up. The poll was conducted of 1,261 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters.

As of Tuesday morning, Obama was only 17 delegates short of reaching a majority of the 3,253 pledged delegates available in all state contests. With 103 delegates at stake in Tuesday’s primaries, it was practically guaranteed Obama would achieve what he called a “milestone.”

“You know I think that we have been very restrained in this whole process,” Obama told FOX News Tuesday. “We are going to reach a milestone today, hopefully, that is very important.

“We haven’t declared victory. We have got three more contests after tonight and we still are going to have to get more superdelegates in order for us to actually secure the nomination.”

Before vote counting began, Obama had 1,917 overall delegates, little more than 100 shy of the 2,026 needed to become the nominee. The former first lady had 1,722.

Obama weeks ago predicted Clinton would win Kentucky. Clinton scored a wide victory in West Virginia last Tuesday and polls show her leading Kentucky by double digits. The Bluegrass State offers 51 pledged delegates, which will be divided proportionally.

The Clinton campaign similarly indicated that Obama would likely win Oregon, where Obama invested his time and drew a crowd estimated at 75,000 over the weekend

The Beaver State has 52 delegates. It also had the distinction of staging the only contest without a designated polling day.

Instead, under a vote-by-mail system, election officials tallied all ballots received by 11 p.m. on primary day.

The only primaries remaining are Puerto Rico, on June 1, followed two days later by South Dakota and Montana.

Obama has steadily picked up superdelegate endorsements since his double-digit win in North Carolina two weeks ago. He recently eclipsed Clinton’s lead in superdelegates.

Fundraisers for the Obama and Clinton campaigns have held quiet discussions on working together in the fall campaign. Additionally, Obama’s top strategist, David Axelrod, disclosed he had contacted Clinton’s former campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, about joining forces for the general election.

Solis Doyle confirmed what she called informal conversations about how she might help the Illinois senator if, as expected, he secures the presidential nomination.
