Congrats to him for staying so strong in this environment in a not overwhelmingly Democratic state. It probably helps to have a semi-jokeish opponent though.

From what I can tell, Oregon seems to be a mini-Washington - i.e. it's incredibly polarized. Thus, not many Republicans could have beaten Wyden without some serious luck.

As we've seen elsewhere, it really doesn't help.

I disagree - just because it doesn't help enough in many cases doesn't mean it doesn't help.

Gordon Smith should be kicking himself for not running. He could win this one.

Smith and Wyden were best friends in the Senate. Wyden never helped any of Smith's challengers.

Except Jeff Merkley.

Actually the way Wyden got to the Senate was by beating Gordon Smith.

Yeah, I was going to mention that. I find it odd that Smith and Wyden could be best friends after such a very close contest between the two. Then again, Ensign and Reid had a similar situation and ended up working well together.

Clinton and Bush I are supposedly fairly close these days.
