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

CT-Sen R by town so far (McMahon Blue, Schiff Green, Simmons Red):

[Barnes]

I agree with BK. The Palin endorsement helped Handel tremendously.

And, yeah, Handel has pretty clearly taken the side against gay marriage.

[Barnes]

69% in:

Deal: 51%
Handel: 49%

If Deal wins, it'll be by a squeaker. I still think Handel will win by a few points.

[Tender Branson]

If these results hold and the race remains a tie, Insider Advantage had the best poll (46-46), followed by Landmark (44-42 Deal) and Mason Dixon (47-42 Handel).

I project a 53-47 Handel win now and therefore Mason-Dixon will have the best poll, followed by Insider Advantage and Landmark.

GA-09 once again called for Graves.

GA-09 once again called for Graves.

lol at Lee Hawkins.

FWIW, in the CT-Rep Gov Race Griebel seems to be doing his best in thee less-educated towns.  Foley, the opposite:

[redcommander]

Norton is in the lead 54-45%

[Mr. Morden]

First 10% or so reporting in CO:

Romanoff 51%
Bennet 49%

Norton 58%
Buck 42%

McInnis 51%
Maes 49%

I agree with BK. The Palin endorsement helped Handel tremendously.

And, yeah, Handel has pretty clearly taken the side against gay marriage.

and everything else, too.

paraphrasing Handel from the second-to-last debate: "yes, when I first ran to head the Fulton County government I gave money to the log cabin republicans and got endorsed by them, but that doesn't matter because when I was in office I made sure same-sex partners didn't get benefits, and I'd veto anything like it as governor"

[Tender Branson]

First 10% or so reporting in CO:

Romanoff 51%
Bennet 49%

Norton 58%
Buck 42%

McInnis 51%
Maes 49%

As expected these races will be fun to watch in the next hours ...

[Mr. Morden]

Now we have over 20% reporting, and Buck leads Norton 50.1%-49.9%, and Bennet leads Romanoff 52-48%.

[Bacon King]

GA-09 once again called for Graves.

lol at Lee Hawkins.

"At this point, I'm just running to beat him."

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Wow, Colorado is kicking ass at this vote-by-mail thing.

[cinyc]

In the CT House races, Brickley will win CT-01 and Debicella CT-04.  Then there's these two races.  Peckinpaugh has a solid lead in CT-02, but CT-05 is really close - a true three-way horse race.

[Mr. Morden]

Very early returns in MN:

Dayton 43%
Kelliher 29%
Entenza 28%

Only 0.1% reporting though.  

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Looks like Minnesota's SOS site will be faster than the AP as well. 18 precincts in, Kelliher up 43-31 over Dayton.

[Barnes]

77% in:

You guessed it!

Deal: 51%
Handel: 49%

[Tender Branson]

77% in:

You guessed it!

Deal: 51%
Handel: 49%

Still almost nothing in from Fulton.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

40% in for Colorado, Bennet up 53-47, Norton up 51-49. Governor numbers still not updated yet.

[tpfkaw]

47.5 reporting:

Bennet: 53.2
Romanoff: 46.8

42.8 reporting:

Norton: 51.4
Buck: 48.6

39.5 reporting:

Maes: 51.6
McInnis: 48.4

[Thomas D]

There's an Independence primary in Minnesota?

[Tender Branson]

Currently, it looks like PPP did a slightly better job than SurveyUSA in Colorado.

PPP got D-Sen. and R-Sen right, but R-Gov. wrong.

SUSA got R-Gov. right, but the Senate wrong.

SUSA also gets MN wrong if trends hold.

[Mr. Morden]

Looks like Minnesota's SOS site will be faster than the AP as well. 18 precincts in, Kelliher up 43-31 over Dayton.

58 precincts in, and Kelliher still leads.  I have no idea which precincts those are though.  Is there an easy way to navigate that page for county results?  It looks a bit confusing.
