What upset victory are you happy about the most

For me it's the sweep of New Hampshire's congressional races. I honestly never saw that coming, particularly Carol Shea-Porter. After this I bet John Sununu is scared shitless.

1. A local one. State Senate. Dave Zien getting his ass kicked
by Pat Kreitlow in WI 23 Senate.

2. may not be known nationwide, but Tim Walz ousts Minn. 1st
incumbent Gil Gutnecht.
this was a surprise as Gutnecht had all the big GOP names out here to rake in truckloads of money.
Gutnecht is a guy who for several years after the epidemic began doubted that HIV causes AIDS.

Walz patterned much of what he did after PAUL WELLSTONE's candidacy. he is a guy to keep an eye on.

4. Heh I didn't even count Webb because that goes without saying
Webb I didn't think of in this case because it was neck and neck the night before the election. But Webb truly came out of nowhere and defeated the GOP's crowned presidential nominee for 2008.
