I am absolutely amazed.
Seeing Marquette and Selzer having the GOP do so well got me thinking the other day that the polls may be biased against us this cycle. My hope was that we would perform as the polls suggest, winning 7-8 Senate seats and only having a net loss of 1 or so in the Governors races. Pick up a couple House seats and call it good.
What happened instead...amazing. The Republican ground game is what did this. Here in Kansas, Sam Brownback is not well liked. If you asked every registered voter in the state, his approval rating wouldn't touch 40%. Folks just didn't show up to vote. Roberts won comfortably, and Kobach won in a landslide. I honestly went into today expecting Davis to win by several points and 50/50 on Roberts/Orman.
This won't make me cocky for 2016, though. A whole different ballgame...
