Apparently there's also a primary on Tuesday for Ohio's 3rd district because the guy who won the first primary dropped out. Not that it matters, of course, especially since none of the Dems filed a pre-primary fundraising report.

Well, this certainly is exciting. Bentley is winning by a wide margin, it's Roby by a landslide, and Sewell is up 53-47 with a big chunk of Jefferson county in, so Smoot is clearly done for.

I'm not sure how I feel about the governor's race here.  Bentley seems slightly to the left of Byrne on hating all teachers unions [despite the fact that Alabama doesn't really have much in the way of required unionization of teachers or anything] but to the right of Byrne on social issues.  As SSP noted, Byrne & Bentley were the two '"sane" candidates of the four major contenders in the original primary.

Roby winning means that Bright will have to sweat a little more, and could indicate that making crazy YouTube videos isn't effective for winning Republican primaries in Alabama, after the latest victim for Ag Comish

The Byrne v Bentley race had a huge urban-rural split, one of the most dramatic in a primary that I have ever seen.

Just to let y'all know, GA reuslts, for whatever reason, are usually very slow in coming in. I don't know if that will be the case for tomorrow.

Some numbers in. Hank Johnson is at 56% though it's very early. Clay Cox is, rather surprisingly, 15 points behind with 18% in. There may be a regional dynamic here that I'm not aware of though. Tom Graves is hanging out just below 50% and Regina Thomas is doing better than her 2008 run which, given the anti-incumbency mood and Barrow's "No" vote on the healthcare bill, isn't that surprising in my opinion.

And of course the gubernatorial race - Roy Barnes cleaning up with 61%. Handel is at 30%, Deal at 25%, Oxendine at 19% and Johnson at 17%. I suspect the Republican side will be very regional a la Alabama a few weeks ago so take that 16% that's in with caution.

What's Deal's deal? (Haha, get it!) I've only really paid attention to Handel and Oxendine.

The extreme regionalism and racial polarization is what makes Southern election results so fun to watch.

Wow, if The Ox doesn't make the run-off, that's be crazy!

I thought Deal was facing ethical issues and was too tied to Congress to do anything?  Maybe the Newt endorsement works?!

What the hell did Woodall do to be in first place in GA-07? I swear he didn't have two dimes to rub against each other. Is Linder just that popular that his staffer wins by default?

In GA-09, Tom Graves is currently 6 votes short of avoiding a runoff.
