An end to the second most shocking race of 2014. What a ride.
What was the first? Maryland?
I'd say so. That was on absolutely no one's radar, and it wasn't even close.
It was on people's radar. Major Prognosticators were lowering it to just Lean D in the final weeks, and it was widely expected to be an embarrassing margin of victory for Brown (4-8 points). It's just that nobody important actually went out on a limb and said it would flip.
Such a world of difference in class between Ed Gillespie and Chris McDaniel/Joe Miller.
I'm pretty sure McDaniel still hasn't conceded.
McDaniel is bizarre. Dude is going to become U.S. Senator in the next 6 or 8 years, so why fight this so hard?
It wasn't the only Senate election in Mississippi.
Not after this election, he's not.
If Cochran retires, as I expect him to do in 2020, anything is possible...
