Places where Democrats exceeded expectations

[Antonio the Sixth]

Of all Democratic statewide candidates, I think only Matha Freaking Coakley has overperformed her polling. Didn't do her much good, of course.

Isn't that nuts?

Ann Kirkpatrick is doing very well in Arizona's 1st District.

She's ahead with 53.3% of the vote with all precincts in, and according to local sources, her lead has a good chance of expanding with absentee votes.

I don't understand why Arizona of all places went about as well as it possibly could have.

Barber's narrowly trailing and heavily Republican Cochise County has yet to come in. So that's a loss.

Strong Dem Incumbents and weak republican candidates?

Oh and Moulton exceeded expectations, possibly because Tisei is fairly unpopular.

In fairness though any half-way decent Dem should win that district.

Nah, Moulton only exceeded expectations if you believed Emerson's junk polls. He was always going to win easily.

Yeah, I had a gut feeling about Kirkpatrick.

NH-Sen slightly

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

FL-18 easy

Yep. I like Domino, but I really like Pat Murphy, and he earned every point of that 20% win.

Arizona - In general
Minnesota - In general
Kentucky State House
Iowa State Senate
Oregon both state chambers
West Virginia Senate (although only by holding it to a tie decided by LT. Gov.)

Not much to be happy about on your side. But I can say from my side that Hick, Iowa State Senate, and Kentucky State House definitely stung a bit as I had assumed those were swinging my way before election day.

We got marijuana legalization passed in OR, AK and DC. In the end, that's all that really matters.

I knew he was going to win, but I at least thought Tisei could keep it in mid-high single digits.

Oh, and Ashford probably should've been buried under the wave, but it looks like he'll go to Washington, which probably benefits Nebraska Republicans in the long-run.

Looks like the Lean, Mean, Jeanne Shaheen Machine was the only Democratic Senate candidate to outperform the polling average. #Shaheen4president

We made "right-to-work" a lot less likely in Kentucky. That's what matters the most.

You can cross West Virginia Senate off the list as a Democrat switched party affiliation and the body is now Republican.
