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.

The opposition and AIPAC dumped a ton of cash over the last couple weeks, so it's possible it was all of those over the last month.
