The first local results are shown on the big screen and you'd think a rock star just walked into the room.
Jeff Merkley, 67 percent.
Gordon Smith, 29 percent.
The roar rivaled the one for Obama.
So far, the Dems here are pitching a shutout.
It's early, but State Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, can't believe that Merkley, a colleague in the Oregon Legislature, would be sticking it to the incumbant Smith.
"If you would have told me nine months ago that my friend Jeff Merkley would win?" Buckley says. "No way."
A little cat-calling as channel 12 interviews state Rep. Dennis Richardson, R-Medford, on the big screen. But for the most part, they're still doing snow angels here on the Armory floor.
