Vote.

I vote Mark Begich. Sure, he lost, by he lost in a very close race in one of the most Republican states in the country.

Probably Begich, with Hagan close second. That's what makes their losses so heart-wrenching.

Mark Begich. He actually kept it between 5 points in such a red state, good for him.

Technically Begich and Landrieu haven't lost yet, but I voted Hagan out of those who officially lost.

This, although Hagan losing was even worse because while Sullivan is at least a pretty vanilla Republican, Thom Tillis has already screwed over his state in countless ways and seems like such a schmuck in general.  Hagan was a decidedly meh Senator, but Tillis seems absolutely terrible.

Hagan.

IMO, Begich's campaign was overrated, and his "Willie Horton" style ad (and refusal to take it down despite the victim's family's urging) did not do him any favors.

I'd go with Nunn.

She had the bad luck of running in a very Republican year against the one political outsider in the crowded primary.

Begich or Hagan. Begich seemed to have a really good ground game, evidently that didn't account for much. He also reached out to the oft ignored islanders.

Hagan and Begich really did nothing that deserved to lose. People who supported them just didn't show up to vote for them

Not getting people to show up to vote for you is generally considered a campaign flaw that can cause you to lose.

Udall hasn't lost yet. Why is everyone assuming this? He is down 45k without provisional ballots counted.

First off, it's 50k, not 45k. Udall himself has conceded, and it's not like provisional ballots go 90% or 100% democrat.

Udall lost, and Colorado is better off because of it.

Assuming he ends up losing, Begich.  Hagan should've been capable of beating Tillis, wave or no wave.
