In the Kansas governor’s race, Governor Sam Brownback beat back challenger Paul Davis by a margin of 2.8 percent, or less than 33,000 votes. In Virginia, Senator Mark Warner eked out a victory over challenger Ed Gillespie by only 0.6 percent of the vote, or just over 12,000 votes.

Hey, dude, you seem to have found a social life on the weekends, I've noticed. ;)

Oh, that. No, my computer kaput'd on the night of the 26th, I was using a tablet for basic access that week, and this past week I've been slowly reconstructing everything to my exacting standards (including a backup scheme that doesn't disable itself when you upgrade the OS).

Of course. A landslide is just a waste of campaign dollars.

Voters are more likely to sit on their hands if they are assured their candidate will win.
