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.

"Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. The requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there." ------ ~Thomas Carlyle, On Heroes and Hero Worship, 1841 |

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/ ?
