More of a set of landslides, but the fact Democrats haven't won a single county in a Maine Senate race since 1996 is impressive. It may continue this year (but the corresponding Republican sweep almost surely won't).

Mitch Daniels winning 58% of the vote in Indiana despite having poor approval numbers earlier in his term and Obama carrying the state I find impressive even though it's not that strong a victory relatively speaking.

Charles Taylor's 1997 win was pretty impressive. How many other politicians could not only win but get 75% of the vote with the campaign slogan "He killed my ma, he killed my pa, but I will vote for him"? Of course, there was the concern he might resume the war he started if he lost, but you've got to be concerned about how effective a warlord would be as President.
