What was the biggest surprise in your state?

[The Other Castro]

Malloy winning by a relatively comfortable margin

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

How much Dems stuck with Quinn running despite his low approvals, ended up with a Gov Rauner instead of any other Dem, like Vallas.

[Vega]

Corbett only loosing by 10.

[Wisconsin+17]

Biggest surprise? Harris county flipping to the republicans.

[TJ in Oregon]

In Wisconsin there really wasn't a major one.

In Ohio, I'd have to go with Chris Redfern losing. I did not see that coming.

[New_Conservative]

There really was no surprises. I guess how well Baker did in Worcester?

[HAnnA MArin County]

Amendment 3 (Missouri Teacher Performance Evaluation) losing 3-to-1 statewide and every county voting against it. The amendment, if passed, would have gotten rid of tenure and transformed into a merit-based system. Glad to see it fail as strongly as it did in a state as "conservative" as ours.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

A big surprise in my state was the defeat of Republican Todd P'Pool as Hopkins County Attorney. P'Pool, a Tea Party supporter, was the GOP nominee for Kentucky Attorney General in 2011.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Redfern losing his seat.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

A little surprised that no Democratic incumbent lost in the House despite the wave. We have gone 20 years since an incumbent Democrat lost, but the current districts have a lot of close districts. Some wave if it results in a Democratic gain of one seat (CA-31).

[Clermont County GOPer]

Kasich winning Cuyahoga and Lucas counties

[Adam Griffin]

A downballot statewide Dem (Valarie Wilson; State School Superintendent) getting exactly the same percentage of the vote as Jason Carter (44.89%). I always knew she'd be the best performer of the downballot bunch, but doing that well relatively speaking was quite impressive.

[free my dawg]

Everything went as expected. NH-1 was always in play, I wasn't surprised that Garcia turned out to be a paper tiger, Shaheen won by an expected margin, and the state house flipped.

I guess the only real surprise was an MRA convicted of violating his wife's protection order actually winning a state senate seat. Ah well, maybe Jennifer Daler or someone like her can run in 2016.

[KCDem]

A downballot statewide Dem (Valarie Wilson; State School Superintendent) getting exactly the same percentage of the vote as Jason Carter (44.89%). I always knew she'd be the best performer of the downballot bunch, but doing that well relatively speaking was quite impressive.

Adam, did she have any regional strengths to her performance? Or was it basically the Carter-Deal map?

[Person Man]

That Hickenlooper won by more than the Gardener did and how close it was.

I haven't looked at percentages and compared them county-by-county, but she's from Dekalb, so I'm leaning no on that one.
