◼ GOP PLUS 8: DAN SULLIVAN WINS IN ALASKA - John Hayward/Human Events @Doc_o
The greatest repudiation of a President and his Party in living memory continued on Wednesday, as incumbent Democrat Senator Mark Begich’s refusal to concede gracefully came to naught, and a recount confirmed Dan Sullivan’s 8,000-vote victory in Alaska. (As of Wednesday morning, Begich still hadn’t formally conceded.) Senator Sullivan is the eighth Republican pickup in the 2014 wave election; the ninth will most likely arrive in Louisiana in early December.
Very few analysts, including those who were enthusiastic for the Republicans to take the Senate, predicted a +8 or +9 pickup, or the historic gains made in the House and gubernatorial elections.
