PORTLAND — The Bush administration’s vigorous pursuit of Oregon’s seven electoral votes in November continued Monday with the arrival of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Cheney’s visit, his second to the state this year, came two days after his wife was in Oregon to address a state Republican Party convention. The Cheneys are part of a steady stream of Cabinet members and GOP officials who have been trouping through the state this year.

Cheney told supporters that President Bush wants to be elected to vanquish the terrorists who seek to destroy the nation. He mentioned Ameri’s background as an Iranian immigrant and said that she “shares the president’s determination to fight terrorism at its source.”

An estimated 350 people attended the event, with some paying more than $1,000 for private photo sessions with Cheney. More than $400,000 was raised for the two campaigns, said Devon Lyon, spokesman for the Zupancic campaign.
