Did not see it coming, I knew that Heitkamp was personally very well liked in ND but I didn't think it would be enough to overcome the states GOP lean, apparently I underestimated her as a candidate.

The GOP got absolutely crushed in the Senate, the only bright spot is that they barely held onto Hellers seat in Nevada.

If the GOP hadn't had the oppertunity to gerrymander a bunch of states after 2010 I think we would have seen a much better House result too (though I do not think we would have retaken it), but we can't have everything I guess.

And I also commend Berg for not dragging this thing out and forcing a pointless recount.
