amount of buyers remorse in republican circles. They aren't getting what they thought they voted for in November, so they stayed home. This race was THE most expensive judicial race in U.S. history.

They had to be getting multiple texts, emails, phone calls, mailings and internet/TV advertisements about this race. They knew all about it and stayed home for a reason. This is what is scaring the republicans to their core.
