No, because:

1. I do not make predictions on remotely competitive seats in April.
2. While I am pretty dumb, I'm not that dumb.

Said the race could have been competitive… and really it should have been, but always thought that Nelson would enjoy a clear advantage and never though a Harris win was likley.

No -and anyone who did was a fool.  It is one thing to make honest mistakes, but she was unqualified from the get-go which anyone should have seen.

No, although I thought it would be closer than a 30 point margin.

Very easy to say that now. At the time she was still an underdog and still just as polarizing but I doubt anyone really saw this type of disaster coming.

Pretty much my thoughts. It's a shame AuH2O isn't around anymore, I'd love to rub his old comments about this race in his face.

Well yeah, but there's a difference between not thinking she'd do disastrous (I didn't either), and thinking she might actually win (I didn't do that either).

Yes, before she got all crazy early in the race.

I never thought she would win, but I expected polls to be closer than they are. It seems I was pleasantly surprised.

I haven't made any formal predictions at all, so no I haven't predicted she'd win (or that she'd lose for that matter).  That said, I thought Nelson was vulnerable if a strong opponent were fielded and I never found the far left's claims that Harris' role in the 2000 election would haunt her to be persuasive.
