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

Racine leads Shumlin by 32. Looks like Markowitz is out of it.

That was Westminster coming in for Shumlin (next to Putney).

If patterns hold, it may come down to Putney versus Shelburne, Charlotte and Huntington - what's still out in Chittenden County near Burlington, where Racine is leading.  Plus who comes in second in what's left from Windsor County - Dunne is killing there.

WTF!!!! That's it, another democrat I'm supporting if Scott wins. I'm sick and tired of republicans nominating crappy candidates. Scott is a joke.

I'm not supporting Scott in the general.

"conservative"* T

extremist.

Where?

You.

Me too. Alex Sink 2010!!!! A fiscally responsible Democrat without the shady ties and baggage of Scott.

Glassman is barely ahead of Eden, McCain trouncing Hayworth 2-1, Gosar, Quayle (!), Schweikert, and Kelly ahead in the House races.

Nah, independent Bud Chiles is fisically conservative
http://walkwithbud.com/

and he polls about 15%, so if enough people jump onboard...

but MAYBE Alex Sink, she really is pretty moderate

Vote Scott! We can't Sink!

The two blue turds above me is the reason we can't get conservatives elected.

Huntington is too small to make a difference, but Shelburne (and especially St Albans) will be crucial. It looks like Racine will just barely pull it off-he's ahead by 77 now. 2nd place in Windsor can go either way-it was R in Hartland and S in Norwich. All eyes on Hartford-and Putney-now.

Also, Newfane and Guilford will help out Shumlin.

Racine's pulling ahead! He's up to a 203 vote lead!

Looks like that won't play well with conservatives. Especially considering Florida has a large illegal immigration problem from the Caribbean. And who are you calling blue turds? Just because we don't toe the party line doesn't mean we aren't conservative. Sink has had a fantastic record as the chief financial executive for Florida. Bud Chiles would also be a fantastic independent voice in government.

[King]

CNN just confirmed the obvious and called it for McCain.

What just came in? It wasn't Shelburne or Middlebury or St Albans...

Actually statesrights, I wouldn't put any of your blame on them considering one cannot vote and the other doesn't live in FL.

Now, I do not disclose who I vote for except to family and close friends (it's just my habit ) but I will say that I am undecided for the race in November.  Both McCollum and Scott disgusted me but I did choose one of them.  That doesn't mean I'll be voting for Scott in November.  It's not because of the bitter primary battle.  I treally is because they both disgusted me to a certain extent.  I'm open to Alex Sink but I have to hear more about her over the course of the campaign.

I'm not hyper or rushing to judgement like redcommander and ajc by loudly proclaiming 'Oh that's it!  I'MM VOTING FOR XYZ!!!!!!!!!!!!'

It looks like all absentee ballots to me, so it may not be totally representative.

More likely early votes.  The website will tell you exactly, if you click enough times on the right thing.

[Sam Spade]

Only JD Hayworth is such an idiot and a-hole that he could lose votes to the 3rd candidate he should get by being the anti-McCain default.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Maricopa and Pima have yet to count anything other than absentees. Most of the other counties have gotten a significant chunk in (the AP site has kicked in, finally).

[homelycooking]

Now in: Putney, Chittenden, Hartford. Shumlin pulls ahead by 160.

Net gain of 15 for Racine in Hartford
Gain of 4 for Shumlin in Chittenden
Gain of 359 for Shumlin in Putney

[Dan the Roman]

Paton losing to Kelly in AZ-08. If it wasn't for the Brewer/Immigration thing that would probably move the seat to likely Democrat, but even a normally unelectable nut like Kelly can probably make it a race in this environment.

What? The "party line" fought tooth and nail against Scott. Don't believe me? FB State Senator Paula Dockery and ask her personally!

Republicans should prefer all Republican governors to Democratic this year, for the simple fact that governors control redistricting and have a bully pulpit to promote and organize their party for presidential elections.  Florida, as one of the states with the highest number of congressional districts, and probably the most important swing state, is absolutely crucial to Republican success.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm suprised at how bad James Lankford crushed Kevin Calvey for the GOP nod in the 5th CD in Oklahoma.  I was expecting a closer result no more than 55-45, but it turned out 65-35.  Lankford should easily beat his Democratic opponent Billy Coyle and become the next Congressman of Central Oklahoma.  When this race started and Lankford entered, I thought he would be a quick campaign and then be laughed right off the ballot.  I was wrong, though!  He will make a fine Congressman.  He is very conservative, no doubt about it, but he's not insanely so like my good friend Sally Kern.  I've met James Lankford in person and he's a decent, honest, and genuine man who will be great for Oklahoma and bring the change to Washington that is desperately needed.

[Franzl]

lol, you really are the kind of person that believes political propaganda.

He certainly wouldn't scam you with his beliefs, lol.

It's all that McCalister's fault for being a spoiler to McCollum. I won't support a Republican if they are shady, discriminatory, or extremist i.e. Deal and Scott.
