Notice how it always seems to be a surprise to the MSM when conservatives win? Conservative victories are always written about as if they are flukes, accidents or not enough voters were paying attention. Liberal victories are always written about as movements of smart people finally wising up and kicking the troglodytes to the curb in favor of "progress".
Looks like the good guys were ahead in the polls so I don’t know why it’s a surprise they kept the majority.
