The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

[Miles]

5% in for OK

Lankford- 57%
Shannon- 34%

Lankford's lead is relatively uniform across the state at around 50-55%, with Cleveland running up his margins substantially.

Will the long awaited Bradley Effect finally materialize? If it doesn't in a Republican primary in Oklahoma, I doubt it would anywhere.

The Bradley effect is overrated.  The reason Tom Bradley lost his race wasn't racism; it was people lying to pollsters because they didn't want to be seen as racist for not supporting a black candidate.

That's the definition of the Bradley Effect...

All right.  Glad to see that you understand it.

McDaniel's lead is now down to 57-43, 1% reporting so far.

There's no discernible pattern in where McDaniel is running ahead or behind his two-candidate primary percentage.  Too few precincts are in to tell.  We'll know more when more complete counties report.

MS-Sen: AP has over 3500 votes (1.9% precincts) with McDaniel at 51.3% and Cochran at 48.7%

AOSHQDD has over 1800 votes in (1.04% precincts) with Cochran at 56.52 and McDaniel at 43.48%

If Tancredo wins tonight, the CO gov. race could move one step closer to Safe D.

If Tancredo wins tonight, the CO gov. race could move one step closer to Safe D.

A Tancredo victory would be a bag of hurt for the Colorado GOP on the entire ballot.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Politico now has 2.7% precincts in from MS; Cochran leads with 51.8%; McDaniel has 48.2%.

[Miles]

OK: 11% in and Lankford up 56-34.

[Never]

AP now has 4.1% precincts in from MS with Cochran at 53.1% and McDaniel at 46.9%.

[RogueBeaver]

Looks like Lankford wins outright in OK for now.

[Never]

^ Good. Lankford would be a great senator.

[Never]

MS-Sen: AP has 7.6% of precincts reporting and Cochran has 58.4% and McDaniel has 41.6%.

[Maxwell]

Looks like Lankford wins outright in OK for now.

It's super early, and likely Shannon will close the margin.

[TJ in Oregon]

Yup. No wrong answer in this one.

AP now has 4.1% precincts in from MS with Cochran at 53.1% and McDaniel at 46.9%.

McDaniel seems to be running behind his primary tally in the counties that are the most complete in - somewhere between 1 and 2 points.

Turnout will likely be higher than the primary.

[ElectionsGuy]

Woah, Cochran boost.

[Talleyrand]

From early results, Cochran is performing far better in nearly every county reporting. He'll win.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Looks like Lankford wins outright in OK for now.

^ Good. Lankford would be a great senator.

Yup. No wrong answer in this one.

They're both wrong answers.  It's still WAY too early to call that primary, even though Lankford has a lead right now.

[TJ in Oregon]

Cochran has 89.6% of the vote in Hinds County right now. Jackson looks like it really stepped up its game this time around.

[ag]

Might be too early, but looks not too bad for Cochran.

[SPC]

Looks like Cochran has this.

[RogueBeaver]

AOSHQDD calls OK for Lankford.

[cinyc]

From early results, Cochran is performing far better in nearly every county reporting. He'll win.

It's looking that way.

[Matty]

Calling it for Thad.
