The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

The only Ohio primary that's somewhat notable is that David Joyce held off Tea Party candidate Matt Lynch in the OH-14 Republican Primary. Lynch probably would have had more difficulty in the general election than Joyce, who has one of the most moderate voting records of any Republican in Congress, and fits the views of his district well.

I think Lynch would have won if this primary was in 2012, or even if neither of the two was an incumbent. Lynch had both the Tea Party and Ohio Right to Life behind him, while Joyce had LaTourette. The Republican base, even in OH-14, is probably closer to Lynch than Joyce ideologically. I think what saved Joyce was the realization that a vote for Lynch may very well be a vote for Michael Wager.

What's with Tancredo leading in suburban the Denver counties? I would have thought that's where the more moderate Republicans would be?
