While I'm overjoyed that Warnock won, it has to be troubling that with all of the effort and high energy that went into getting the vote out, the margin was only about 30,000 votes - against what had to be one of the worst candidates ever to jump up on the soapbox. Despite the horrible personal history and the stupidity that flowed from his mouth like a mighty river, it was a razor-thin victory, and Warnock ran a flawless campaign.
It looks like the margin is about 100,000. Yes, still depressing in a way. But Warnock probably got just about every vote he reasonably could have gotten.
