I think there is a major upset brewing in Oregon. I think Jim Huffman just may win the Senate in Oregon against Wyden. There has been a late shift to him in the latest Rasmussen poll with Wyden only leading by 11 now after having leading by 16. Another good thing is that Chris Dudley has been running consistently ahead. Huffman's challenge has been name rec but he is clearly doing a lot of the right things as election day nears and voters are shifting to him. One good thing is that he still hasn't maxed out his base. I'm betting come election day he'll be at near parity with Wyden with well above 80% of GOP. Some other good things. Oregon has more self identified Tea Partiers than the National Average, a majority support the repeal of Health Care and Obama is under 50% plus Wyden's negatives are higher than Huffman. This race I believe has been a sleeper. I think it is unfortunate that more attention hasn't been spent on it but at the end of the day it may be a good thing.

Well....we’ve been holding our ballots...until the last minute....and we’re NOT VOTING FOR WYDEN! or any other DEM

[goodnesswins]

Oh, this is Jackson County....I wonder what’s going on in Multnomah and Washington Counties...

I just did a check and the interesting thing about Rasmussen’s sample of this race in the latest poll. It shows the following.

Exit Polls 2008 with were only 1 point off from the final result
D- 37
R- 26
I- 37

Here is the Rasmussen Sample.
R- 30%
D- 43%
O- 27%

This race is primed for an upset.

First of all, thanks for the Post. Wow! What great news! Who'd have ever tho't there was even a prayer we could pick up the Senate Seat in Oregon? Your comment:

That is a "good thing"; the element of surprise. Don't let your enemy know you're coming.

I live in Jackson County, OR. There are masses of Republican signs in yards. You have to hunt to find a CPUSA (D) sign. This is Republican Country!

I don’t understand why Huffman never got any support from the RNC, Tea Party Express, etc. Oregon is a pretty inexpensive state to run in, too, I believe.

[correctthought]

There were two positions which no one was running for; could have we wrote in a freeper on the ballot? Is it possible with a little coordination?

Good news from Jackson County. Let’s hope Multnomah and Lane Counties follow suit.

How cool that would be... here's hoping Huffman could sneak under the radar screen and take out Wyden.
