314: Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan - 50.3%
224: Bernie Sanders/Deval Patrick - 45.9%
Others - 3.8%
Romney is originally dragged down somewhat by House Minority Leader Ileana Ros-Lehtinehen. However, when the latter negotiates a $10.25 minimum wage within three years, as well as an immigration limit increase of 15% and an across-the-board income tax cut of 2%, her popularity rebounds. The Republicans gain two Senate seats net, winning Nevada(Heidi Gansert) and Colorado(Jack Graham). Kirk narrowly defeats Andrea Zopp.
