Jeff Merkley Wins in Oregon
Jeff Merkley has eked out a win over Gordon Smith in the state of Oregon, expanding the Democratic lead in the United States Senate. The final tally, with a tied 47-47% percentage, shows Merkley with a 2,547 advantage.
Smith had ran ads aligning himself with President-elect Barack Obama earlier in the campaign. Obama, in the only instance of him doing so, ran an ad in Oregon in support of Merkley. Congrats to the new senator from Oregon!

That is a huge win for us all here in the Pacific northwest.
Smith is bad news.
Too bad Darcy Burner doesn't seem to be able to squeak out a win, that would have been awesome.
:) YEAH FOR OREGON!
