OMFG ESPADA GOES DOWN

Damn, NH is slooooow....

A new map with 67 precincts in and Ayotte (blue) down by about 5 points against Lamontaigne (green) doesn't show much new.



Bender won Dixville Notch with 3 votes.  That's in red.

[Shilly]

Good news for freedom, tonight.

Andy Harris wins in MD-01

BRTD, since you seem to like Intrade so much, she is trading at 25 there. That means chance.

[tpfkaw]

Oh NOEZ! Some people in another state chose a primary candidate I dislike! I'm so CONCERNED!

If you're a partisan it is concerning when it means basically throwing away a free seat.

Yeah, but it's basically the equivalent of someone like Zell Miller being primaried. Ideological purity is allowed to trump electability when the nominated candidate is essentially worthless to your goals.

Chance to make some cash you mean. Thanks for the tip!

Remember all the people who thought Santorum had a chance?

WI called for Walker. DioGuardi holding on to a 41-39 lead over Malpass. Townsend is likely the sacrificial lamb for Schumer. He's up 56-44. Doheny's at 53-47. Rangel in no trouble, nor is Towns.

[Meeker]

In NH-02, Charlie Bass is only barely ahead of 2008 nominee Jennifer Horn 40-39 with 19% in

All of this is very upsetting. Go Coons.

You must be the only Democrat in the country who is thinking this.

The difference is I don't see Coons as a shoo-in. This is going to be a tough, drag out, point to point, ad to ad, house to house fight. It's not going to be one that feels particularly good, but it's going to require passion and energy. Assuming that O'Donnell can't "possibly" win the general is the best way to guarantee that, that is precisely what happens.

Look at PPP's twitter right now or wait until their poll comes out tomorrow. I don't even have to waste my time posting a long response to this. It should be obvious to you why O'Donnell can't win in Delaware.

Beet believed FL-19 would flip and PA-12 would be a GOP shoo-in.

I know, in his defense though I thought PA-12 would go pretty strongly for Burns. Then again the results didn't surprise me much.

[Eraserhead]

PPP are looking like pimps after this one. It must be said.

[Torie]

Nashua is coming in, 47-30 for Ayotte.

That is the anti tax commuter to Boston area jobs, and was the area Romney was strongest in, FWIW.

[Sam Spade]

The PPP poll teasing is nice and everything, but isn't it a little out-of-date now (for better or worse).

[Sam Spade]

Nashua is coming in, 47-30 for Ayotte.

That is the anti tax commuter to Boston area jobs, and was the area Romney was strongest in, FWIW.

It is also Ayotte's home.

Enjoy the happiest night of the campaign O'Donnell.

That is true. PPP has another in the bag.

Gray is beating Fenty 59-39 in DC currently. No idea how many precincts.

[Brittain33]

Nashua is coming in, 47-30 for Ayotte.

That is the anti tax commuter to Boston area jobs, and was the area Romney was strongest in, FWIW.

My unscientific read on the numbers is that she doesn't have a strong enough regional base there to offset Monty's lead in Manchester, but there are plenty of other places that might have surprises that help her.

[Meeker]

Paladino wins the Republican line! And Lazio wins the Conservative line! It's a primary day miracle

[Torie]

Maybe it will get bad enough, that somehow, O'Donnell will just fade away. What does Castle say he is going to do?  What a crazy primary season.

[xavier110]

LOLOLOL Paladino.

[cinyc]

Paladino wins the Republican line! And Lazio wins the Conservative line! It's a primary day miracle

Paladino wasn't running in the Conservative primary.  A split was inevitable if Paladino won.

Lazio got what he deserved.  He ran a terrible campaign.

Manchester sometimes is at odds with the state in primaries, assuming that is where the L man is getting his lead.

Lazio could've lost the Conservative line to the random nobody though.
