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

[Joe Biden 2020]

and genuine man who will be great for Oklahoma and bring the change to Washington that is desperately needed.

lol, you really are the kind of person that believes political propaganda.

Only because I know this guy personally.

[redcommander]

Wow great job Arizona 3rd. Another Quayle might be closer to congress after tonight.

[??????????]

It's all that McCalister's fault for being a spoiler to McCollum. I won't support a Republican if they are shady, discriminatory, or extremist i.e. Deal and Scott.

Who's the one that paid for a political endorsement?

[homelycooking]

Shumlin's lead cut to 90. Calais, Hyde Park and Charlotte all gave net votes to Racine. Shumlin should be praying for a miracle in St Albans.

[Lunar]

Republicans should prefer all Republican governors to Democratic this year, for the simple fact that governors control redistricting and have a bully pulpit to promote and organize their party for presidential elections.  Florida, as one of the states with the highest number of congressional districts, and probably the most important swing state, is absolutely crucial to Republican success.

 Some people also consider governing in their prefs

I haven't seen many mainstream politicians you don't like, to be honest. No matter how far left or right.

Each of the three competitive AZ dems are going to lose their seats.  That is as clear as ever from the republican turnout so far in the primary. 

AZ1-30725 DEM / 55314 REP
AZ5-18230 DEM / 39687 REP
AZ8-33979 DEM / 47590 REP

They shouldn't if they're out-of-state.

A little presumptious, considering that Democrats had no primary and no reason to show up.

Huh?  They have a contested Senate primary.

[ajc0918]

Florida Senate Turnout
Democrats: 898,032
Republicans: 1,242,959

Florida Governor:
Democrats: 852,028
Republicans: 1,272,707

Not very good news for the democrats if this is seen in November. Especially since democrats outnumber republicans in Florida by 600,000.

Oh and for FL-25 since some of you are talking about the chances of a democrat pick up:
FL-25 Turnout:
Democrats: 15,663
Republicans: 29,059

Another interesting one:
FL-13 Turnout:
Democrats: 32,291
Republicans: 73,662


Oh and Rubio is the only GOP Senate candidate to get over 1,000,000 votes in the primary. Fiorina got like 980,000 votes.

Probably because I try to see the good in people, and don't look for the bad.  I've had this mindset my entire life, and it's served me well most of the time.  I like far left individuals like the late Ted Kennedy and John Murtha and Nancy Pelosi, but i also like the far right individuals like Sally Kern and Strom Thurmond.  I even like Jim Inhofe as a person, just not as a politician.  Now, liking a person doesn't mean I care for their politics too well, but I even like to find one thing with them I do agree on rather than trying to find the one thing where I don't agree with them.

As far as James Lankford, I've met this guy personally and he has a really soft and caring heart.  He will be a good Congressman and he will make a lot of friends on both sides of the aisle because of his charm and his charisma.  If he weren't in the US House, I'd almost ask the powers that be to consider him as the chaplain for the House or the Senate.

Vermont's been at 226 of 260 precincts in according to the AP for almost (if not over) 10 minutes now.  Shumlin leads Racine by 245 votes.

If you knew the democrats had even a 50/50 shot you would have blasted my comment - the fact that you only call it a little presumptious is almost evidence enough you agree.  I know that you cant interpret primary results and apply it to the general, but there is enough of a turnout gap to show an obvious wave incoming.  You have to also remember that dems rarely if ever have a contentious primary in AZ, they just solidify around a candidate and hope into the wind that they get lucky - its just the way AZ works.

Except for when it leads to you repeatedly falling for scams.

A Senate primary with a couple of joke candidates that everyone knows have no chance of beating McCain.

[Kevinstat]

Northern Vermont's preferred candidate, Paul Beaudry, won out in the battle for the Republican sacrificial lamb against Peter Welch in November.  Or is Welch seen as vulnerable for some reason?

There aren't many registered Democrats in AZ-5, just many swing voters that vote for Mitchell. In AZ-1, the Democratic base is composed of Natives and Hispanics. If there is going to be low turnout in November, their turnout is going to be bottoming out for a primary that little care about. In AZ-8 the gap isn't too severe.

Vermont's been at 226 of 260 precincts in according to the AP for almost (if not over) 10 minutes now.  Shumlin leads Racine by 245 votes.

Two precincts came in and Shumlin's lead is down to 30.  Shelburne (near Burlington) was one of the two towns.  Still nothing from St. Albans city or town.

[Kevinstat]

Rather useless information now, but Shumlin's lead was down to 75 votes after the 227th precint came in.

[Kevinstat]

One more precinct in and Shumlin adds a vote to his lead.  You gotta love New England elections.

[cinyc]

This was before the last precinct came in:



Bartlett took another town, Hyde Park.  An island of orange.

[Kevinstat]

Still 229 precincts in, but now Shumlin is up by 35 votes.  The town results page had gone back to 228 earlier, and perhaps that withdrawn town isn't in the APs results now while the other town is.  Wierd.

230 came in - and Racine's up by 13 votes.  I'm not sure what it was - it wasn't St. Albans.

Edit: Fairfield, next to St. Albans.  Shumlin got slaughtered in a two way race between Racine and Markowitz.

I had just figured out it was Fairfield myself.  I have to go to bed, but this has been fun.
