1
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:00,567
We've kind of

2
00:00:00,634 --> 00:00:01,902
gotten used to

3
00:00:01,969 --> 00:00:03,437
these big

4
00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:05,038
liberal blowouts.

5
00:00:05,105 --> 00:00:05,839
We'd use the term

6
00:00:05,906 --> 00:00:07,174
in these April elections.

7
00:00:07,241 --> 00:00:08,208
They have figured out

8
00:00:08,275 --> 00:00:09,910
how to win these races.

9
00:00:09,977 --> 00:00:11,411
It seems like Chris Taylor,

10
00:00:11,478 --> 00:00:12,079
though, took

11
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:14,548
that to a new level with her

12
00:00:14,615 --> 00:00:15,949
race this time.

13
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:17,317
Anya, what's,

14
00:00:17,384 --> 00:00:18,986
I guess stuck out to you

15
00:00:19,052 --> 00:00:20,387
about this massive win

16
00:00:20,454 --> 00:00:21,188
by Chris Taylor.

17
00:00:21,255 --> 00:00:22,422
So we kind of saw, you know,

18
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:23,257
some of the tea leaves

19
00:00:23,323 --> 00:00:24,958
leading into the race,

20
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:25,893
less spending,

21
00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:26,860
sort of less excitement

22
00:00:26,927 --> 00:00:27,594
across the board.

23
00:00:27,661 --> 00:00:28,128
The stakes

24
00:00:28,195 --> 00:00:29,162
were different, but

25
00:00:29,229 --> 00:00:30,097
Zac and I were chatting

26
00:00:30,163 --> 00:00:30,931
on election night.

27
00:00:30,998 --> 00:00:32,366
We were waiting around,

28
00:00:32,432 --> 00:00:33,066
Chris Taylor's

29
00:00:33,133 --> 00:00:33,667
what turned into

30
00:00:33,734 --> 00:00:34,902
her victory party.

31
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:35,669
And we were saying, you know,

32
00:00:35,736 --> 00:00:36,270
this will be

33
00:00:36,336 --> 00:00:37,104
an interesting experiment

34
00:00:37,171 --> 00:00:38,639
to see with the,

35
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:39,640
sort of pulls, punches,

36
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:41,141
the pulled financial punches.

37
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:42,009
What kind of margin

38
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:42,809
will we see?

39
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:43,410
And then it turned out

40
00:00:43,477 --> 00:00:44,211
to be the largest

41
00:00:44,278 --> 00:00:45,212
margin I've ever seen.

42
00:00:45,279 --> 00:00:46,547
And from what I understand

43
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:47,481
in decades

44
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:48,649
in Wisconsin races.

45
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:49,483
To add on to that.

46
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:50,517
Earlier that afternoon,

47
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:51,285
I met up with Chris

48
00:00:51,351 --> 00:00:52,786
Taylor on the campus,

49
00:00:52,853 --> 00:00:53,720
and one of the questions

50
00:00:53,787 --> 00:00:54,655
I asked her was,

51
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:55,422
are you worried

52
00:00:55,489 --> 00:00:56,023
because the

53
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:56,957
lack of investment

54
00:00:57,024 --> 00:00:57,658
from the Democratic

55
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:58,525
Party of Wisconsin,

56
00:00:58,592 --> 00:00:59,927
which in past elections

57
00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:01,328
has sent millions

58
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:01,995
of dollars

59
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:02,763
to their preferred candidate

60
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:03,530
or from outside

61
00:01:03,597 --> 00:01:05,032
interest groups, really spent

62
00:01:05,098 --> 00:01:06,600
nothing that you're leaving

63
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:08,068
possible voters at the door

64
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:08,936
who may not be aware

65
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:09,403
they need to

66
00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:09,870
get out and vote.

67
00:01:09,937 --> 00:01:10,637
And she said, no,

68
00:01:10,704 --> 00:01:11,305
I don't think so.

69
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:14,174
And she was absolutely right.
