Just as Hilary was predicted to win in West Virginia because she has a very strong support there, so is Obama expected to win in Oregon for the same reason.
In an article from The Stranger, Eli Sanders travels along with the Clinton champagne through Oregon. Following her from Hilaryland into Barackville.

The numbers? Can you cite for me at least one place to get these elusive numbers that put her so far behind? I'm at a loss. Popular opinion isn't really all that against her, honestly, either; the media machine is, that's for sure, but overall she's still getting a good share of the votes. She's still in the running because she has backing (read popular opinion), and if it were truly impossible for her to get the nomination like the media hounds keep pounding into our heads, then she would let it go I'm sure. The real fact of the matter is, she's just as viable a candidate as Obama. West Virginia believes that, at any rate. I'm excited to see what us Oregonians do on the 20th...

I think any outside observer wouldn't consider her bare victory in Indiana and clear defeat in North Carolina as enough momentum to take her to the White House. If anything it looks like she's slipping.
In the pass months I never thought she should drop out for the sake of the party or to do Obama a favor, it's a democracy after all, but now there is no way for her to over take Obama. She needs to win 70% of the the next elections to do that? It's extremely unlikely but not as unlikely as her taking this to the convention and beyond. I do think she should drop out now, with the numbers and popular opinion against her, in order to save face and keep her name intact.
