43% is on some level disappointing, but here are the facts I think bring some cheer as of press time.
1. She beat the top Republican against her badly, not close, badly badly.
2. She beat the top four Republican candidates combined.
3. 16% of the electorate voted for a non-serious vannity candidate,{Al Uke, being maybe considered more seriously than the others]
4. She improved 7 points over her last election, exactly how many she needs.
5. Turnout, She is going to get 50,000, which is a lot for a special
6. The election takes place, during a contested Dem not Republican Primary
7. The weird funky thing with the two seperate votes, special and primary same day, is bound to hurt a divided field rather then a united one.
