In reply to the discussion: Exactly what Senate seats were we supposed to win? [View all]crickets
(25,963 posts)62. It's not that Graham won over Harrison in SC that disturbs me so much,
though the loss was disappointing. It was a long shot, and as close as he got, Jaime was never locked in for a win. What bothers me is the margin. It was over 10 points and that just seems way overdone. Meh, maybe it's just sour grapes on my part, but I thought Graham's win would be more of a squeaker.

I don't know about "bashing", but there is a problem with how we analyzed these campaigns.
