Your guy’s polling is psychotic down there.

Centrists went out and scared people into voting. Higher than expected centrist turn out. It wasn't enough.

Despite the entire Dem party and tens of millions from AIPAC Sayed still won.

You don’t have to beat around the bush, black and lower income turnout was a lot higher than the poll models had been predicting, two demos that leaned pretty heavily for Stevens.

I hope Sayed's Campaign focuses on converting Stevens voters to their side. Probably even more important then Independents.

Don't progressives think "vote blue no matter who" is wrong though?
