Oh Boy: Republican Challenger Leads Democratic Incumbent in Senate Race in... Oregon

Dr. Wehby released that great ad "Trust" a few weeks back, bragging on herself for saving children on a daily basis.

As Mark Pryor would say, she has a real sense of entitlement.

But apparently some voters think maybe she would be a good Senator, because she now has (per one poll) a not-statistically-significant lead of one point over Jeff Merkely, 40-39.

The poll also indicates that a plurality of voters in the deep-blue state see Obamacare as a mostly failed venture. Forty-six percent of respondents said Obamacare and Cover Oregon, the state�s disastrously flawed health care exchange, were failures, while 17 percent said they were successes, and 37 percent said they were �somewhere in between.�

And she's running against Obamacare, naturally. Another ad "signalized" her day job as a pediatric neurosurgeon, declaring it wasn't "brain surgery" to conclude Obamacare was a failure.
