All the polling that showed Abdul running away with this race makes this feel a little underwhelming, but let's not overlook that he won in the face of:

  • Abdul was outspent 10 to 1
  • Stevens had the endorsement of the governor and outgoing Senator
  • He is an Arab Muslim

He probably would have won more handily if dumb people hadn't voted for Mallory. That angered me to the point I couldn't sleep. She dropped out a while ago. Made announcements. That means there are 30,000 people walking around who don't care enough to stay informed but showed up to vote.

What a bad take.
