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

[ag]

Still about 2800 vote lead for Lamontagne. As if frozen. The percentages get closer, of course. Would be funny if that's what it comes down to: 2800 votes gained in the first few precincts to report.

[Thomas D]

44/301 in for NH, Ovide up 47-35.

Guinta up 40-30 in NH-01 with about 20% in.

It's a good thing nothing important is going on in Maryland, they're being extremely slow. Wargotz did regain the lead for Senate, though.

That's how we do.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Now 46-35 Lamontagne. Interesting that his lead is still holding steady at 2,800 votes. In Wisconsin, Walker has opened up an 8% lead on Neumann.

[Eraserhead]

NY Attorney General race is extremely tight between Rice and Schneiderman so far. Not surprising.

[Ronnie]

    Now 46-35 Lamontagne. Interesting that his lead is still holding steady at 2,800 votes. In Wisconsin, Walker has opened up an 8% lead on Neumann.

Can Lamontagne win the general?  I don't see him as a crazy (at least, not significantly more than Ayotte)

[Meeker]

Maloney is dominating in the early returns.

[Hash]

325/325 in Delaware gives Sexgoddess 53.1% to Mike Castle's 46.9%.

It must suck to be Mike Castle, and I feel bad for him.

     Now 46-35 Lamontagne. Interesting that his lead is still holding steady at 2,800 votes. In Wisconsin, Walker has opened up an 8% lead on Neumann.

     It seems he would win, but by a smaller margin & he would also have less of a future in the Senate. Nominating him would be a bit of a misstep for the GOP, but not nearly as bad as nominating O'Donnell was.

afaik, he'd struggle, but he's slightly less mad than Christy (which isn't saying much).

[Linus Van Pelt]

Who's running the Tea Party Express?  I know Dick Armey's up in FreedomWorks, but the TPE has two huuge scalps

Ultimately, in a lot of ways,

But it may have run loose now, not where they wanted to go.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Paladino at 94% in Erie County, 90% in Wyoming, 80% in Cayuga and Livingston. This is going to be one hilariously-shaded map.

For what it's worth, the teabagger in the NY Governor primary has a massive early lead. Looks like Cuomo will landslide. Oh, wait, he was going to landslide regardless.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

    Now 46-35 Lamontagne. Interesting that his lead is still holding steady at 2,800 votes. In Wisconsin, Walker has opened up an 8% lead on Neumann.

Yes, but Hodes has a lot more of a chance against Lamontagne than Ayotte.

I'm literally at a lose for words now.
I'm becoming a democrat.

and I'm being serious, at least the accept other peoples views

[Linus Van Pelt]

[Sam Spade]

With NH, you have to wait until Nashua.

[Vepres]

This has been a depressing night to be a Republican.  I shall go in a corner and mope.

oooosh, ahhhhhh, I love the smell of pessimism in the evening!

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Oh, and Lazio is winning the Conservative primary at the same time.

Walker only up 50-47 in Wisconsin.

Altschuler at 46% in NY-01, Hoffman up 57-43 in NY-23.

Well that's true, the Dems had a 59-seat majority and basically did nothing but continue or expand all of Bush's policies.

[SvenssonRS]

    Now 46-35 Lamontagne. Interesting that his lead is still holding steady at 2,800 votes. In Wisconsin, Walker has opened up an 8% lead on Neumann.

I think he has a pretty good chance, what with not being a frigging crazy.

Tightened up a bit: 320/325, 53.2 O'Donnell. Urquhart narrowly takes the DE-AL nomination, 48.8 to 47.5.

Last precincts were probably from inner Wilmington, which is quite black as I recall.

I'll change my tune here after looking at cinyc's map - looks like more of a rural vs. suburban contest.  Has not been the traditional tea party structure so far, but O'Donnell is not the typical tea party candidate

Here in IL the Tea Party seems to have the most activity in the outer suburbs. Suburban Will County is a particular hotbed.

Your primaries were so early, like literally five months ago, it's interesting.  Hard to believe Kirk wouldn't have had a slightly harder time (but still won) if his primary were right about now.

Actually 7 months ago, but who's counting.

Now Lazio is behind - lol Lazio
