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

[Thomas D]

No votes counted in D.C. Yet.

[Eraserhead]

Gillibrand up 77%-23% over Goode (if anyone cares but me).

Also Rice now has a decent lead in the AG race.

[Marokai Backbeat]

The Republican party is trying to figure out what it is after being slaughtered in 2006 and 2008. Radicals being nominated is a part of this identity struggle, but I expect the Republican party of 2014 to be much more moderate and stable than the one today.

Ever the optimist, aren't you?

You know - Im happy that O'Donnell won.  Im sick of this bull and Im tired of listening to people tell people that conservatism can't win in states like Delaware.  You have countless examples of socialist democrats winning in states they "shouldn't win".  What does that say about democrats - they have to lie and connive and pretend they are moderate just to win?  Is that how you feel about your party?  Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad have won in states where their views are absolutely incompatible with their state's bent.  North Dakota is about equally as conservative as Delaware is liberal.  It's time for the party to change and we need to be more radical if we are ever to repeal Obamacare.  We are going to win the senate in November and it can be done without Castle.  We've got plenty of other states that are on the bubble - Johnson will beat Feingold, Rossi will beat Murray, Angle will defeat Reid and I even have a feeling that Raese might beat Manchin and even that Fiorina will defeat Boxer.  We need a change and we need a mighty conservative power to fight these bastards to kingdom come.  You want to go along and get along, then join them.  If you want the country to succeed you join us.  Democrats need, nay, deserve to pay dearly for what they have done.  We will be a stronger party and we can differentiate ourselves enough from them to give voters a real choice.  They will choose us and reject the democrats.  Democrats are unpatriotic and hate this country.  They call people stupid.  We're tired of it.  We're tired of them making our lives miserable.  We're tired of stagnation caused by the liberal policies of both Bush and Obama.  We're tired of young liberals perverting the constitution and lying about who we are.  We're tired of mushy moderates co-opting the party.  It's time this country decided who we are and we're going to win because our values are right.  Our values are better and extend freedom to the maximum amount of people.

You're a hack and you need to go away

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.

Yeah, really a missed opportunity there. Did the tea party put any money or resources or endorsements into taking down Kirk?

The word was definitely out in December and January. Here's a post on RedState form Jan.

Why not? In a two-party system, both parties will ultimately gravitate towards the mainstream.

Upstate's in more than anyplace else, best I can tell.  Too early to tell anything about NY.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Gunning for an upset in NH-01... Rich Ashooh (who?!) is narrowing the gap with Frank Guinta. Guinta's at 37-34 now.

Excellent. Now, if that douchebag Pedro Espada will lose... *checks* His opponent is at 86% with 3 precincts in. Uh, okay.

Where are you getting your results?

[Torie]

I go to the gym for my training session, and come back to find ... well . I hope the bitch loses in a landslide. They need to be taught a lesson - now. Or maybe we need a new centrist party.

Need to check the GOP candidate, but that SD will be a problem to retain, especially with Paladino at the top of the ticket.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

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

I always knew I liked you much more than most of the Republican hacks here and now I know why. You're a good guy.

[Хahar 🤔]

You have countless examples of socialist democrats winning in states they "shouldn't win".

The most prominent socialist Democrat I can think of is Ron Dellums, and Oakland is certainly a place where he should win.

David Cicilline will become the third openly-gay individual to be elected to Congress should he win in November.

You know what they say, if you're not a democrat by 18 you have no heart, if you're not republican by 30 you have no soul.

I turn 17 saturday hahaha

lol @ Lazio.

Eh, don't be bitter, Torie.  You'll feel much better once you eat one of those post-gym Protein Energy Bars!

psst...every sane republican is in a bad mood now, so don't feel alone.

Besides Angle and now O'Donnell, I can't think of any major Tea Party upsets that weren't in states where they fit into the mainstream anyway. For the most part, the mainstream GOP has prevailed (or mainstream Tea Party candidates have). You're forgetting that when the establishment pick wins, it is not news.

Of the four openly gay members of the House, two and a half will be Jewish.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Maloney is absolutely pulverizing Saujani. It's 85-15 with 5% in.

Rangel is up to 57% with 4 precincts in.

Doheny took the lead in NY-23, 56-44.
