With 82% precincts reporting, Merkley has a very small lead (2,500 votes). But the remaning precincts are all in the deep blue parts of the state, so it looks very likely that Merkley will win by a few percent overall:

Out of all the new Democratic Senators, I'm most excited about Jeff Merkley and Tom Udall. From what I've read, Merkley is very progressive and got a lot a lot of significant legislation passed in the Oregon State House.

I'm least excited about my own state's Jeanne Shaheen. She's not going to be the brightest bulb in Washington, but her voting record will at least be significantly better than John Sununu.
