1. ...was the most shocking thing you witnessed in this campaign?
Obama winning the Presidential Nomination and Election; heck, Obama winning Iowa!!!
The second most shocking thing was seeing McCain choose Palin as a running mate.

2. ...was the easiest-to-predict event in this campaign?
McCain winning Alabama, and Bill Clinton having sex while his wife was campaigning.

3. ...was the person who shook up the field the most (for good or for bad, can be a candidate, a pundit, a blogger, a pollster...anyone you wish)?
Sarah Palin. And shook was not the best word.

4. ...was the most worrisome event during this campaign for you?
It wasn't so much an event, it was when the McCain/Palin campaign started saying the Obama pal'ed around with terrorists, and stirred up frightening levels of hatred and fear among their constituents. And I wasn't "worried". I was horrified, terrified, disgusted, furious. Still am. And the post-election gun sales are also worrisome.

5. ...was the element/theme/meme from this campaign that will stick with us for years to come?
Yes We Can. Because we did.

6. ...was the person you ended up hating more than anyone after the election?
Sarah Palin, because she just wouldn't let it go.

7. ...was the person you ended up liking more than you thought you would after the election?
John McCain (his concession speech) & Hillary Clinton (actually, it was after the convention)
