Recent election in Oregon
Jeff Merkley - D 864,392 49%
Gordon Smith - R 805,159 46%
David Brownlow Constitution Party 92,565 5%
60,000 of Brownlow’s votes to Smith would have
kept Merkley who pushes Obama’s agenda out of the Senate
The same situation played out for the Senate in Minnesora
Okay. Are you trying to equate a state wide election in Oregon to a national Presidential election? There just might be some differences. I get your point, but I’m afraid I have no interest in studying Oregon state elections.
