Nothing really happened. If you want a story, I would say is that it is becoming clear electorate groups are becoming so partisan than campaigns may no longer matter. Anyone could have predicted this six months ago.

Romney had a strong October in 2012 but it didn't get him anywhere close to winning.

Nunn, Hagan, Grimes, etc. couldn't convince anyone to vote for them, even with opponent gaffes.

Add in that the media has turned from an educational voice to a Twitter-reading/pulse-gauging regurgitate and we're basically entering a situation where the outcome is decided and unmovable. The election is a formality.

Regardless of how empowered conservatives feel today I can say with 100% confidence that Hillary Clinton is going to win 2016 soundly and Republicans are going to win in 2018 soundly.

Lol, have fun with the red avatars, krazen.  It's been a long time since the blues here have had their way with them.

2004 was fun times.

The GOP autopsy appears to have worked. I think the Tea Party stranglehold in the GOP caucus might be broken.
