Sacrificial lambs that ended up winning the election

« on: May 18, 2016, 07:56:54 PM »

What are some good examples of sacrificial lambs that ended up victorious?

How about Scott Brown? Chris Coons (before Mike Castle lost the primary)? Mark Begich?

Joe Donnelly.

I didn't think of this as an example because Democrats occasionally get lucky with Indiana senate races and Richard Mourdock never had a lock on the election.

I could be wrong on this, but up until a month or so before the election wasn't Rod Blum- R- IA-01 just a sacrificial lamb candidate?

2014 was a Republican wave election, so I'd say no. Iowa is a weird state politically.
