Also more male voters. The shifts between male and female voters were fascinating, some states had very heavy male turnout, others had stronger female turnout.
And also less lunatic candidates. The Republican establishment's huge expenditures early in the cycle to beat tea party candidates paid off. That was a big change from the last time. Reagan's rule of not criticizing a fellow Republican is dead; unless it's starting to live in the Democratic party.
