Oregonian calls Merkley for OR

The Oregonian has called the Senate race for Democrat Jeff Merkley. Sorry that took so long. Our ballots were even longer than California's, if you can believe that. You have to love the initiative process and the amount of totally worthless measures that get on the ballot. Apparently the length of the ballots caused problems with the machines.

Now we get to wait until December(!) to find out about Minnesota and Georgia. The less said about Alaska, the better, although it is apparently still close enough that Mark Begich is not conceding.
