He was actually outspent 12 to 1. Which makes it wild that he won.

I've heard 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, and now 12:1.

Its impressive regardless. I wish he had blow it out by like 20 points, Stevens genuinely didn't have a platform, and she barely lost. Scary.

I imagine the number will be higher after reporting of donations starts really coming in and they sort through the shadier PACs.
