Breaking...MSNBC just called Merkley for Oregon!!!

[Roxy66]

I am so glad to get rid of Smith.....!!

[Parche]

1. My Vote Counted!!!

:woohoo: :party: :woohoo: :hi:

[Roxy66]

2. Mine too!!...thank gawd!

[classof56]

8. As did mine. Woo hoo! Not that many for Merkley East of the Cascades.

Maybe my brief stint at phone banking for him counted a bit. Whatever it was, the results were just what we needed. Smith is OUTA here. Yes!

[Quantess]

14. I have to think the extra high turnout helped Merkley.

People who were excited enough about Obama to actually vote, most likely voted for Merkley over Smith. Just a guess.

[depakid]

18. The Constitutional Party candidate helped even more

by garnering 5% of the vote from Libertarian nutcases who would have otherwise broken strongly for Smith.

9. Hey, Parche -- Gordo AND Reinhard gone! What a party!

:toast:

[Parche]

12. when is davey reinhards last day?

I just want to rub it in!!! :rofl: :rofl: :hi: :hug:

[depakid]

17. His most recent piece was very odd and disjointed

He couldn't seem to string together coherent thoughts.
Maybe he contracted Palin disorder.

[Arugula Latte]

27. Dunno ... It shouldn't be long now, though.

I wonder what fresh Hell he'll enter into after he leaves that damn librul Oregonian?

[Cha]

25. Congratulations, Oregonian!

:toast: :hug:

[Arugula Latte]

26. Thanks, my friend!

:toast: :pals: :hug:

30. My daughter's invited me

to Portland, Ore over Thanksgiving so I'm going and my son and his wife are going to be there from Kaua'i!

First we'll be in the Hood River area and then around the first of December we'll be at their house in Portland.

Maybe I could give you a call just to say "YES WE DID!"?:)

[Arugula Latte]

31. Sounds wonderful!

I'd love to hear from you! :hi:

[Cha]

32. Good! I was hoping you'd say

that so I'll just get your number from a pm?..and, I'll give you a ring when I'm in Portland, Oregon. Something I never thought I'd say!

[Arugula Latte]

34. Can't wait!

:bounce:

19. Hey Parche -

I was at a press conference just a little while ago with Senator Wyden, Portland Mayor Adams, Commissioners Leonard and Wheeler, and... Senator-elect Jeff Merkley!

They talked about creating jobs for Oregon, and especially about getting Fed funding for infrastructure.

Exhilarating!

[Parche]

21. where was it at?

I work near PSU

Infrastructure is what I have been talking about for 2years

10billion per state for roads and bridges etc..........

:hi:

[Left Brain]

24. We were in the parking lot

outside the NW Oregon Labor Council in SE Portland. About 30 people, mostly labor folks.

KGW was there, and several other reporters, so it will be on the news. You'll be happy to know they focused on replacing the Sellwood Bridge and improving roads -- creating jobs while securing our future! Wyden said they would be working their tails off during the lame duck session coming up to get those funds to Oregon immediately.

WOO-DAMN-HOO!!

[codjh9]

3. MAN I'm glad to hear that... and I've only VISITED Oregon a few times :^) ... but love it...

[pdxmom]

4. This is what I've been waiting for!!! Obama's win was absolutely amazing, but

this one is running a close second for me. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Smith was an absolute drag on this state and his hypocricy knew no bounds.

Now, hopefully he won't run for governor.

[yardwork]

5. So we're up to 57 now?

[FloridaGrl]

15. yes but hopefully it will be 56

because they kick Liarberman's ass out.

[yardwork]

16. And then back up to 57 because it looks like MN will be challenged.

[stubtoe]

6. Wooo Hooooooooo!!!

:woohoo:

[jsmirman]

7. Yayyyyyyy!!!!

I've been waiting on that one! Congratulations!

[golddigger]

10. Yay! Myself and 6 of my family members helped. Sweet, was praying we would get

rid of that POS Smith.

[hogwyld]

29. Me and my lovely wife voted for Merkley

out here in red ass Yamhill Co. The number of Mclame and Smith signs was depressing! WooooooooooooHooooooooooo !!!!!!!

[golddigger]

33. Hi neighbor! Corvallis here. Been meaning to go to Portland one day. Only have went

thru Portland to get to the airport.:hi:

[Undercurrent]

11. Yippie!

[kwolf68]

13. Wooooooo

Oregon rocks.

[bdamomma]

20. that is another seat for us.

the repigs must be going BS too bad, lay down with dogs you get fleas.

[BeyondGeography]

22. Go Big Blue!!!!!!!!!

:party:

[budkin]

23. Later Gordon!

[Arugula Latte]

28. There is not a Republican Senator left on the Left Coast now.

And THAT is as it should be.
