538 vastly overestimated Southern Democrats on November 4. I expect Landrieu to Thompsoned tomorrow.

A shame. Santorumed has a nice ring to it.

Huh, I always thought Santorum and Lincoln suffered the biggest defeats. I guess they were merely the biggest recent defeats.

The biased, dishonest take on Santorum's loss has led many naive people to believe he suffered the worst loss ever. Of course, getting Blanched is far, far worse but you don't hear that from the elites.

Sadly, Landrieu, while on course to obviously get thrashed tonight, will still outperform Santorum though I hope I'm wrong. As you know, I very rarely am.

He already went through that with Hagan, and now he's actually prepared for a loss (and a heavy one too), so not really.

Santorum is still one of the vilest humans ever elected to the US Senate. His defeat was the greatest thing to happen to America since the Allied liberation of Europe.

lol Phil. Landrieu will do worse than Santorum. She's a white Democrat in Louisiana in a runoff to a midterm election.

She probably won't be in the top 10 incumbent loses, but it'll be close.

You must still be extremely bitter about Santorum's 27 point loss.
