What were the most surprising races of the non-competitive governor's races (in terms of margins, candidates, etc)?
Ohio: I knew Kasich would win big, but seriously didn't expect him to actually win by 30+ points, enough to win Cuyahoga and Lucas counties. Tennessee: A 47 point margin, enough said. Oklahoma: Damn Mary Fallin really sucks, can't even win >60% in Oklahoma Wyoming: I expected Mead to do much better, there was a lot of third party vote here, he unpopular? Rhode Island: I knew the margin between the D and R would be close, but I didn't expect the 'Moderate' candidate to get 2%, nonetheless >20%. Vermont: Wow, Shumlin knows he screwed up when he can't even get >50% of the vote, luckily he has the legislature to save him. New York: Cuomo is so weak, only winning by 13. He did surprisingly well in Long Island and Staten Island though, upstate is where he got his margin reduced big time.
