Places where Democrats exceeded expectations

[morgieb]

UT-04, because Mormons are racist.
WV-02, because Mooney's a carpetbagger, and that area isn't super dominated by coal.
Some of those Arizonan house seats.
FL-02. Along with Pat Murphy Gwen Graham would make a great candidate for statewide races.
Michigan senate. Yes Land being dire helped, but Peters outpolled several Dems in safer states (i.e. Franken and Durbin).

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

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.
