Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour 1.

Well, hello, America.

Anything interesting happened to you last night?

Welcome.

It is Eric Erickson here.

Across the nation, the phone number is 877-9-737-7-4-25. But before you call in, just let me spend a little while walking through everything. You know, it's one thing to get stuff remarkably wrong when you're by yourself, but yes, I got a lot wrong and everyone did.

Democrats and Republicans, both. The Democrats really did expect doom. The Democrats really were bracing yesterday.

The Republicans really did expect victory. By the end of the night, things were upside down.

The Republicans too long didn't read version of this night, things were upside down. The Republicans, too long, didn't

read version of this or too long didn't listen. Republicans will take the House of Representatives.

The Senate may very well come down to a runoff in Georgia. Republicans are not optimistic about

that when given what happened in Georgia last night, the difference between Kemp and Walker,

but it's still salvageable potentially. Was there a wave? So do you know what Schrodinger's cat is? Schrodinger's cat is an idea in quantum mechanics that there can be a cat in two states. There can be a live cat and a dead cat. If you look at the cat, the cat is dead. If you don't look at

the cat, the cat is alive. Well, when you try to glance to see if the cat is alive, the cat is dead.

This election was Schrodinger's election. Schrodinger's wave. Was there a wave? Well, when you look at it,

no. When you don't look at it, yes. It was a really good night for the GOP.

It was a really bad night for the GOP. They're alive and they're dead. And the same with the Democrats.

Now, let me explain. This isn't me trying to do damage control here. This is actually what happened.

The wave of the Republican Party through Florida was tremendous, as it was through Georgia, as it was through Texas, as it appears to be in Nevada, where it is looking like Adam Lackselt may pull off a win, and Joe Lombardo was going to pull off a win.

The blue wave swept through Michigan.

They really have dominated that state now. The GOP went all Trump and the voters in Michigan blew them out of the water. In Virginia and New York, Republicans did well in congressional seats. In Iowa for the first time in 40 years, the GOP has taken the attorney general seat and crushed the Democrats across the board.

In North Carolina, the Republicans have taken the state Supreme Court.
