Just for the record, the crazy lady is a dentist in my home town of Laguna Niguel. Maybe I should go check her out.

Does the GOP enjoy this? They're about to completely throw out a Senate seat....and drastically reduce their chance of winning the other one. Serves them right, of course.....but I'd like to think that even the Republican Party would have enough sense to nominate sane and electable candidates.

And of course....I like Campell enough that I'd vote for him in the general as well. Shame he won't be a Senator any time soon.

If the Republicans had any sense at all they would have never nominated W. for President and so they would have never been in their current predicament.

About 25% of Republicans thinks Sarah Palin would be a good Presidential candidate. Enough said.

What was it? 2/3^rds think she has more experience to be President than Obama? I mean, wtf? He is the President.

Yeah, but all those Republicans think he's doing a bad job as President because he's an evil, liberal, Muslim socialist.

I was on a walk and passed my polling place, so I voted for Frelinghuysen (and against the Tea Party candidate Luzzi) in his primary.  I hope Runyan wins his primary today even though Adler will probably kill whoever challenges him with his bottomless corporate pockets.

From The Facebook of DWTL: "sweet...hope it bodes well for me beating the mayor for a county committee seat today"

Does anybody have more info on some county committee primary in Bergen County, NJ where the mayor is facing the powerful election-winning wonder Matthew Gilson?

Is that his name? Because if it is, we need to mention it enough times here that it turns up on a search engine.

Indeed. Matthew Gilson is Matthew Gilson's name.

What are the numbers for Prop 16?  If that thing passes, I will lose my faith in the intelligence of the average Californian.

Some would say that it is better to vote for whom you like the best, not the most electable, even if it costs you the seat.

[President Mitt]

You haven't already?

I never said I ever had a lot of faith in the intelligence of the average Californian.

I joined that group a few weeks back.

+1 Runyan (lol like my vote will change anything)

Well, it actually could!  Turnout is unbelievably terrible statewide.  Runyan's own district had about 30 voters out of 1,200 or so.  It's been similar in other Mount Laurel districts.  In mine, I was the 9th voter.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

It'll be interesting to see if Lincoln keeps her seat.

Btw Johnny, what do you think of the VA-01 race in general? If Wittman wins the primary, can Krystal Ball make it competitive or is she unlucky that it's 2010?

Wittman shouldn't have much trouble winning another term. Ball looked like a strong candidate in the beginning -- I believe she actually outraised Wittman the first quarter she was in, and she quickly sewed up the Democratic nomination by shutting her opponent out of the delegates needed for the convention -- but her fundraising has dropped off and the environment just isn't right for a Democrat to take over a McCain seat. The Democrats' best chance to take the seat was 2008; had they not screwed up by nominating a crap candidate who dropped out in something like July or August, leaving them scrambling to find a replacement (who still managed a respectable showing for raising only about 1/5 of what Wittman raised, and only having two or three months to campaign), they would have done much better, even if Obama didn't win the district.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Is any channel covering the results?

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I believe MSNBC (Keith Olbermann, specifically) is covering it at 8 and 10, but I'm not sure if that's something you'd want to watch.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Direct link for Virginia's results, not that they'll be that exciting:

Edit: Well, okay, I expect VA-11 to be close.
