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

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Up to 49% in GA, Perdue still leading 30-29. Handel up to 20% but still trailing by more than 30,000.

Westerman is breaking away in AR-04. He leads by 17 with 15% in.

They need to call AR-02 for Hill already...

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Parts of Idaho and Oregon are closed now, a few results may trickle in over the next hour, but most polls there don't close for another hour yet.

[Maxwell]

I would be surprised if Handel made it to the run-off at this point. The reason? Probably the fact that out of the millions spent in ads, she only spent $17,000. It's no surprise.

[Miles]

Not good for Handel: Perdue is slightly ahead in DeKalb and she's only leading by 3 in Gwinnett. Less than 33% in for both, but still.

The Decision Desks of today are just way too cautious sometimes. They used to be a lot more liberal, but after the 2000 disaster they adopted some new policies. While there's some good there, it's also sort of bad because the result can sometimes look obvious for a long time before a call is made.

55% in now in GA, Perdue still leading 30-29 with Handel at 20%.

[ElectionsGuy]

Perdue has slipped in the lead. Meanwhile Jody Hice and Mike Collins and nearly tied in Broun's seat. Loudermilk leading Barr in Gingrey's seat. Buddy Carter looks like he'll go to a runoff with John McCallum in Kingston's seat.

Parts of Idaho and Oregon are closed now, a few results may trickle in over the next hour, but most polls there don't close for another hour yet.

Most of Idaho closed 9 minutes ago, its only the northern panhandle of Idaho that closes at 11 EST, but you're right about Oregon.

[RogueBeaver]

At this rate I'd be surprised if Kingston didn't snag the 2nd slot. Ah well.

[Miles]

Ouch. The first big vote dump in Cobb has Perdue slightly beating Handel.

[Never]

^ In Cobb?! Wow, Handel probably can't make it now.

[Miles]

Kingston gets 2nd place, says AOSHQDD.

[RogueBeaver]

Ace of Spades calls slot #2 for Kingston.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

^ In Cobb?! Wow, Handel probably can't make it now.

Yeah, Perdue's leading very narrowly though with 2/3 of the vote still out.

Nothing new in recently from Gwinett and Fulton, they're still at 9% (Gwin) and 20% in.

Statewide is at 58%, Perdue leading 30-28 with Handel at 20.

Jesus. Is Handel THAT bad a fundraiser, or is her campaign staff retarded?

[moderatevoter]

Handel has had issues raising money, whereas Kingston and Perdue have consistently been on the air. I think that's the difference.

[RogueBeaver]

Awful fundraiser. Perdue sucked up her usual money and her feud with Deal dried up alternate sources, from what I've read.

[Del Tachi]

If we get a Perdue/Kingston race (which seems to be very likely), then it will be interesting to see if an Atlanta vs. "Real Georgia" dynamic emerges.  I like campaigns with regional cleavages

Ouch. The first big vote dump in Cobb has Perdue slightly beating Handel.

It's only a third of the vote there, though.

She probably should've spent more on ads.

[RogueBeaver]

Money wasn't there.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

AP calls one runoff slot for Perdue.

[Indy Texas]

Did Jack Kingston just completely dominate in his own CD?

Neither Perdue or Kingston are from Atlanta though.

Did Jack Kingston just completely dominate in his own CD?

Yes, and south GA in general. He got 70%+ in many counties he's represented.

The results in Georgia seem to indicate that Perdue and Kingston are both very strong candidates in the regions favorable to them. It appears that there could be a sharp North-South divide in the runoff. Perdue will probably win this matchup, given how Metro Atlanta will probably coalesce around him without Handel on the ballot.

[IceSpear]

I wonder what a Purdue vs. Kingston runoff will look like. I'd imagine Purdue will be slamming Kingston as a Washington insider, but what will Kingston's strategy be?
