Office Hours: What surprised you most about the election?

As I write these words the final results are still dribbling in, but it has been the most expensive and consequential midterm election in American history. What about it have you found most surprising? What didn’t you expect? Did anything occur — either in the process or the outcome — that you hadn’t anticipated?

@rbreich It shouldn't have been, but I was still surprised by the number of people voting for a clearly unsuitable Senate candidate, presumably only because he was a Republican. I thought only GOP leadership was willing to forgo their principals to to get control of the Senate. https://www.newsweek.com/dana-loesch-doesnt-care-herschel-walker-paid-skank-abortion-1749023

@rbreich - That any functional adult would even consider, much less vote for Hershel Walker.
