Democrats had a fortune to spend on their candidates, and the GOP spent most of the campaign doling out dollars whenever a poll dropped somewhere or another. Then there are those danged, independent polls that don't get in line and use the same methods everyone else does, and they show us with a Republican senator coming from Texas, and maybe from Florida. Remember, these folks have had a ton of money to outspend their opponent and run a ground game too.
