The gubernatorial election data on this site only goes as far back as 1996, but in that time, Joe Manchin scored the highest vote total for his first term, which was 63.51% in 2004.

Actually Dirk Kempthorne (R-ID) got 67.70% in 1998, though he was an incumbent Senator when he ran.

Looks like Spitzer's 69% is the largest percentage anyone's gotten for their first-term in quite a while.

Has anyone ever beaten Spitzer for a pickup election?

As far as the Atlas goes back, the only ones that even come close were:

Strickland, OH 60% (2006)
Benson, NH 59% (2002)

I wonder what the 1994 data will look like when it goes up.
