This has been a very pleasing set of results, and roughly in line with my expectations. I still think it will be a 51-49 Senate and maybe 215-221 or so in the House, which is borderline miraculous in comparison to what would usually happen (especially to Dems). My favourite takeaway from all this is that Lauren Boebert is struggling (although will probably eke it out in the end).

It also feels like DESTINY for Cornelia to come 4th here too.
