Well, looks like Burr is going to pull this out

[Kingpoleon]

Not as transparently desperate as Dole's infamous ad, but it's getting there.

Congratulations Senator Ross!

Ross is gonna lose.

You predicted Stutzman and Cruz would win, saying maybe by a margin of two-to-one.

Well, looks like I was right.

[Figueira]

Well, looks like I was right.

Burr did win, but probably not because of the attack ad. North Carolina was not going to elect a Democratic Senator in 2016.

Well, looks like I was right.

No? You may have accidentally stumbled into the right answer, but your thought process in getting there was still dumb as hell.

After that ad, the fire-bombing, and Hillary's performance...no sh(t.

Ross is a terrible fit for NC and was quite overhyped. I always thought that she would lose, but the margin surprised me.

Roy Blunt pulling it out was the real shocker IMO.

How much did you think she'd lose by?

If the fact that she lost by mid-single digits was a shocker, it really isn't.  NC is liberalizing slowly but surely.

I would've expected Ross to lose by around 1 or 2, but if you told me Clinton and Cooper's numbers, 6 would sound about right.

I liked Ross. I wonder if a political future for her is possible.

If David Price retires in 2018 or 2020 I could see her running in NC-4.

I think Brad Miller has right of first refusal there and while she could run if Miller passes, I suspect plenty of other Democrats would also be very interested if that happened.  I think her big chance was 2016 and unfortunately it was a Republican wave.  OTOH, McGinty (on paper a similar situation) could be a strong candidate in PA-6 if Dinnemann's still unwilling to run.

what I don't get is - if Kay Hagan only narrowly lost in the bad year of 2014 - couldn't the dems win it in a slightly better year of 2016.

Granted, Hagan was an incumbent and whoever would challenge Burr is not - but still. Someone like McIntyre, Shuler, or even Easley would have been better.
