If Braun does well in Southern Indiana, then Rodkita and Messer calling him a former Democrat helped him enormously.

Blankenship seems to have made the same miscalculation that Raese made in 2010 with one of his ads. It ended up boomeranging and helping Manchin, because it appeared to paint West Virginians as hicks.

These out of state businessmen are horrible at connecting with voters.

At the same time Jenkins suffered for two reasons
1) He is a Representative in Paul Ryan's Congress
2) A good portion of his best supporters are registered Democrats, many of whom voted for Manchin and will likely do the same in November against Morrisey.

As for NC, Walter Jones once again proves Republicans don't understand their own voters, or what motivated people to vote for Trump in the first place. Indiana Senate had this on display, but it was more subtle.

And Harris being the GOP nominee in the GOP district that most opposed NC Amendment 1 in 2012, is not going to go over well. This is Romney and pre-Governor McCrory type voters. Socially moderate, fiscally conservative and somewhat hawkish on the border.

It is still also noteworthy that Walter Jones district is heavily based upon Fort Bragg, which is one of the largest US Military Bases currently located within the US, where there was a major surge of active duty military service members, and family members and dependents during the War in Iraq, as a result of both the "surge" and also a consolidation of Military Basing "Facilities Consolidation" program that happened sometime around '05....

What do you mean "based upon"? Fort Bragg isn't in NC-03 it is in Richard Hudson's NC-08.

The PA primary? It must be my birthday!

Anyone else surprised at how terribly Joe Hoeffel did?

Bring back memories of Keystone Phil discussing how terrible Hoeffel is, at length years ago.

Wherein we see the troll ignore primary turnout when it doesn't fit their narrative, yet shout it from the mountaintops when it does.

These seems more important:

And actually it looks like the final vote split in GA will be 53-47

Yeah, the margin continues to narrow, down to 86,598 with almost all of the remaining precicents in DeKalb county.

Haven't they learned anything? Republican areas report first in GA, Atlanta metro last.
