Harry Reid's 2010 victory was pretty unexpected, as was Bill Frist's defeat of Jim Sasser in 1994.

All the polling showed Franken and Coleman basically tied, but, yes, some people expected an extremely small (like, 1% margin) Coleman victory.

Against Oliver North with a centrist Republican running as an indie, Nancy Reagan blasting North and John Warner endorsing Robb?
