Although the Oregon gubernatorial race is deemed too close to call, with Republican Chris Dudley just 13,000 votes ahead of former governor John Kitzhaber, it's believed the latter will actually win by a margin of around 1 percent. That's because the uncounted votes are from two counties, Deschutes and Multnomah, with the latter being heavily, heavily Democratic.
After all, most of the population in Oregon lives in the Willamette Valley from Eugene clear into Portland. The rest of the state tends to be red, but that doesn't mean much when most people live in a narrow corridor of the state.
Update: Latest is the uncounted ballots are in Lane and Multnomah counties, with Multnomah having some 91,000 arrive at the last minute yesterday.
Right now Dudley is ahead by 15,000 votes, but that'll change.
