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

I can't hate on the Tough Nerd too much, even if he's a Republican

I agree, he'd be the least bad of the GOP nominees, and you gotta love his ad campaign at least. Cox and Hoekstra tore each other apart trying to win the "true conservative" mantle, I think Snyder will sneak through.

Hoping for a Bernero win in the Dem primary. Dillon was epic fail as House Speaker IMO.

Also glad to see Benishek up in my CD. He's a loon who will be much easier to defeat than Allen.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Hartzler up in MO-04. Mann slightly up in KS-01. Nothing from KS-04 yet. Moran up 54-38 for Senate. Allen closing the gap in MI-01, but still behind. Huizenga/Kuipers tie in MI-02, with Riemersma slightly behind. Hoogendyk really should have raised some money, he could've knocked off Upton; as it stands Upton remains ahead 56-44. Walberg up big in MI-07. Hansen Clarke dominating MI-13, although only 1% in.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Allen back in the lead in MI-01.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Snyder's up to a 36-27 lead over Hoekstra. He's currently beating Mike Bouchard in his home county of Oakland. Clarke leading Kilpatrick 46-36 in MI-13, 11% in.

[Sam Spade]

In MI-13, the black parts usually report last - be guided accordingly.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

AP calls MO for Blunt.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

MO-04 - a race between Hartzler and Souffer to face off against Skelton
MO-07 - Long is defeating Goodman for Blunt's open seat, somewhat of a surprise, atleast to me.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

KS
Moran 49%
Tiarht 44%

MI
Clarke 49%
Kilpatrick 32%

Rocky 46%  (The Polish guy in MI-09)
Welday 27%

Walberg 58%
Rooney 32%

[Sam Spade]

It's too early in a lot of these races yet.  Be patient. 

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Moran up by 1 47-46


I think most if it is do to Sedgwick county coming in for Tiarht. Nearly all of Johnson is out but the 1 precinct we have has Moran up by 8. Moran is winning Douglas county by 20 points if that is any indication of how Johnson will vote.

That being said, Michigan Gov is over.

Who is being impatient?

Your mom, when your dad is trying to sport an erection.

[Sam Spade]

trying to figure out makeup of counties left in MI-01

In MO-04, you can't say anything until Ray and Saline come in.

That would, of course, be impossible for a variety of reasons which I shall not disclose here.

 

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Hartzler maintaining a lead in MO-04. Huelskamp now up in KS-01. Pompeo up in KS-04. Moran winning Senate 47-46. Allen and Huizenga slightly ahead in MI-01 and MI-02. Walberg still crushing in MI-07. Clarke up 48-38 in MI-13, about 1/3rd in.

Moran up by 1 47-46


I think most if it is do to Sedgwick county coming in for Tiarht. Nearly all of Johnson is out but the 1 precinct we have has Moran up by 8. Moran is winning Douglas county by 20 points if that is any indication of how Johnson will vote.

I agree that the counties outside their respective CDs are going to tell for this election. Johnson is the big prize, and it's just now coming in at 0.2%.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Three counties are still out in the UP, so I think Benishek will probably pull ahead.

[Sam Spade]

In MO-04, Hartzler's showings in these other outstanding counties is making the 75% Stouffer will get in Ray and Saline irrelevant, if it continues this way.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

These Midwesterners are slow as crap at counting.

[Sam Spade]

In MI-01, what is highly amusing is that Benishek is keeping close by absolutely destroying Allen in the west UP (the Bart Stupak homebase - and historically the most Dem area) even as he loses everywhere else.  Only exception so far is the east UP counties of Chippewa and probably Mackinac too (when it comes in), as those are part of his senate district.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Billy Long holding on to a 35-29 lead in MO-07. It's now a Kuipers-Huizenga race in MI-02.

[Torie]

It looks to me like Moran is going to win. The county Wichita is in, is largely already in (Sedgwick County), which Tiahrt carried massively. He seems to have largely shot his wad. Am I missing anything?

Addendum: I see that my better, beat me to the punch by a minute or two. 

[Lunar]

Am I missing anything?

Outside of it not mattering?

[Sam Spade]

MO-04 = over

MI-01 = dogfight

I tend to agree on Moran-Tiahrt with the above - but it's still too early.
