2010 Primaries Thread (It's all over now, baby blue)

[Thomas D]

Fulton County is to Handel as Cook County is to JFK.

[Lunar]

The Deal-Handel race looks like just about a tie.

A slight Deal win with a recount would be the best situation possible for Barnes

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Caliguiri won in CT-05.

Fulton County is to Handel as Cook County is to JFK.

Exactly, and the turnout in the county may end up beating how it was back on the 20th. Only needs 4000 more votes for that to happen. She's winning it with 70% I'd say.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

MAK still bleeding... 45-37 now.

I beg to differ. Deal, who used to be a Democrat, worked with Barnes in the Senate for over a decade. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Deal endorsed him.

[Sam Spade]

As I suspected about 30 minutes ago, it'll take a Handel margin of about 20,000-22,000 in Fulton to win.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Caliguiri won in CT-05.

Called for Peckinpaugh and (finally) Debicella too.

[cinyc]

Caliguiri won in CT-05.

And Peckinpaugh in CT-02.

[Tender Branson]

Seems like Deal will have a slight 1000-2000 vote advantage after all is in.

I think Deal has won. Only 13 precincts left in Fulton. What was left that came in, did not have many GOP voters. And there are 3 precincts out or so in Gwinett, a county Deal is carrying by a bit. So unless there are arithmetic errors, this race I think is over. And I think there are only these 16 precincts out. The total suggesting that about 40 are out is wrong.

FYI, Sam-

The CT turnout differential doesn't seem to be much.  In the towns fully in so far, about 25% of 2009 active Democrats voted in the Governor's race; about 29% of 2009 active Republicans voted in the Republican Senate race (28% in the Republican Governor's race).

The best Republican turnout so far was in CT-05, which had the most competitive Congressional race.

Oh, I agree unless GA SOS is correct.

Looks like it ain't - we're up to 66% and nothing changed.  lol

They probably counted the votes and incuded it into the state total, but didn´t update the Fulton percentages ...

[JohnnyLongtorso]

CT finally called for Foley. MAK is down to a 44-38 lead. Maes is down to a 700-vote lead.

[Sam Spade]

If Buck wins this one, he can thank it on his complete and utter domination of Norton in the Fort Collins/Greeley area where he's from.  Norton's winning most of the other places, just not by much.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Ah, CO-07 finally called for Frazier. Tipton is still up 56-44 in CO-03, so he should make it through as well.

[Lunar]

Does Ken Buck not have a wikipedia or am I tripping here?

[Sam Spade]

Georgia is over.

[tmthforu94]

Georgia is over.

I expect a recount, however. Handel just pulled within 3000 votes. This really sucks.

[Vepres]

I don't know if this has been said, but Bennet won. He's 9 points ahead right now. McInnis and Maes are within a tenth of a percent of each other.

Ken Buck does not have a Wikipedia page.

[Lunar]

I expected Handel to pull off a Haley-lite victory here to be honest.  Never expected her to dominate like Haley, but I expected the whole corrupt-DC-congressman vibe to lose to the mamma grizzly thing that Handel was running with.

Whatever, Barnes will have better contrasts to draw against Deal and I think he'll make a better governor anyhow

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Half the precincts are in, and MAK is down to a 3-point lead.
