I feel bad for michaud and crist, they seem like really nice guys who should of won but were beaten back by a republican wave.
Many blue state governors, such as Dayton and Kitzhaber, should have had much larger margin of victories.
Also had it not been for the republican wave, Jerry Brown might have won 65%+ and perhaps even orange county.
Dayton and Kitzhaber had their predicted 10% margins wiped out in half.
And Hickenlooper would of got a more decisive margin on election night against beauprez despite the gun control which was bad bad policy. Had it not been for the well performing economy in Colorado he would of been toast.
McCain won Orange County(, CA) in the Democratic Tsunami of 2008. It just doesn't go republican.
