Bryan Platt, GOP chairman for Jackson County, looks around the room and likes what he sees -- a good crowd. Not raucous by any stretch of the imagination, but also not down in the mouth. News of Ohio projection for Obama didn't make a ripple.
It's easy to get too focused on the national race, Platt says, while there are a lot of important state races that will affect the makeup of the Legislature -- and, of course, the U.S. Senate seat race between Gordon Smith and Jeff Merkley.
Congressman Greg Walden is scheduled to speak at about 8, followed by other local candidates.
