Walden wins -- and speaks

Greg Walden is projected to retain his 2nd Congressional District seat and he's in Medford to give his acceptance speech. Some of his comments:

"We are part of the greatest experiment in governance that the world has ever seen ... We are Americans and our best and brightest days are ahead of us."

Walden called for several initiatives:

-- balance the budget without raising taxes
-- modernize the health care system using market forces
-- reform how our national forests are managed
-- develop an energy policy that lets the U.S. use its resources, especially its "great oil reserves."
