I think that's definitely part of it. Osborn has a REALLY compelling story and that's certainly part of it. Deb Fischer is pretty uncontroversial and seems like a decent fit for the state, but she's also super milquetoast and she's been in elected office since 1990 and so it makes for a good contrast for Osborn.

I definitely see some similarities between this and the 2016 MO-SEN race. Its not a perfect comparison because Kander ran as a Democrat but also ran as a much more conventional candidate. But there's that macro comparison generationally but also in terms of their life experiences.

Let's remember that kander smoked Blunt(keeping him under 50%); if that happens here, Osborn wins
