That John Kitzhaber is going to win this race.

From FOX 12‘s Twitter feed:

And the Oregonian homepage is blaring:

Kitz is trailing by only 5,454 votes with 14 percent of Multnomah County ballots and 22 percent of Lane County ballots still waiting to be counted. Anyone want to burst our optimistic bubble?

UPDATE: I should note that the estimate right now is for Kitzhaber to win by about 10,000 votes… exactly like commenter Evil Wm. Steven Humphrey predicted in this morning’s Good Morning News! Hooray! You get no prize at all, just recognition for being closest. (Though if the results change, I’m taking away your recognition and giving it to someone else)

Sarah Shay Mirk reported on transportation, sex and gender issues, and politics at the Mercury from 2008-2013. They have gone on to make many things, including countless comics and several books.

  3. Thank god our slightly less conservative old white man might win! Everything is going to be okay, despite impending bankruptcy for Portland, and the state.

    The two (one?) party system has saved us yet again!

  4. Your accolades makes me eviler and stronger, thank you. Also I screen grabbed your kudos, so you can never take that away from me.

    On the plus side, the Dud and I both love Mexican food and margaritas! (That guy was almost governor!)
