I'm not sure we really pay that much attention to the candidate, though. Look a little farther down the ballot and statewide positions were won by Democrats with shockingly similar margins. I think we're swayed by name recognition/incumbency first and party second. Policy positions are a distant third.

I say this as someone who seems to have voted for the winning candidates is every race this cycle, except for Governor.
