Oregon Senate Final

By Ron Beasley

As I noted below Democrat Jeff Merkley has defeated Republican incumbent Gordon Smith in the Oregon Senate Race.  Smith had led until early this afternoon until the votes from the populous and largely Democratic counties in the North West corner of the state.  While Oregon is thought of as a blue state most of it is rural and ruby red but most of the people live in the few blue counties.

Great news, Ron!

Maps tell a story - one that these 50 +.01% maps don't tell very well. Don't you think the more valuable story would be told using maps that force introspection a la http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/2008/ ?
