I knew he lost in the primary, but I never heard the detail that Abercrombie got blanched by a 2-1 margin. Why did he lose so badly?

They had a hurricane there that year, and he gave a press conference looking like he was nervous and was rambling all the while, and I've seen articles to the effect that this was the nail in the coffin for his already incompetent image among voters.

He a oil guy, who voted for ANWR is a climate changing state like Hawaii.  He was too conservative for the state.

He pissed off virtually every faction of the state Democratic party, most notably teacher's unions and environmentalists, and his opponent was about as bland and inoffensive as it gets. The idea that race was the reason is pretty laughable given that Schatz won on the same night.

Because he appointed Brian Schatz to the senate after Daniel Inouye passed away, although the latter wanted someone else. That hurt him badly. LOL at Santander’s answer.

And yet Schatz was reelected on the same night.
