Was that NC result unexpected?  I've never heard of her!  I'm thinking that this race is pretty much Safe R at this point, as I can't see Hillary winning NC by 5+ points (Burr probably runs a little better than a weak GOP nominee and on par with a strong one).

Burr is up by 7 in the most recent poll. It would probably take a Trump disaster for him to lose, which I think we all know is a possibility.

Nah, we've been expecting a Ross victory for months.

And I would probably actually rate this race Lean R at the most at this point, as Burr's approval numbers are very low and he's failed to perform as well in polling as you would expect an incumbent with such high relative name recognition to. Ross is also a noticeably good fundraiser and one does have to consider the potential for Dem coattails to help her out substantially in the GE.

He does have a advantage going in, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ross managed to pull it off.

[Orser67]

Sabato rates NC Likely R, while Cook and Rothenberg rate it Lean R. It's certainly fair to say that Republicans have the advantage, but NC isn't a Safe R race by any means.

Wrapping up last night:

Illinois:

IL-05 G - Sherman
IL-06 D - Howland
IL-10 D - Schneider
IL-11 R - Khouri
IL-12 G - Bradshaw
IL-14 D - Walz
IL-17 R - Harlan

Ohio:


OH-09 R - Larson
OH-14 D & R - Wager (D)/Joyce (R)

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Looking ahead:

AR runoffs are on March 22, but only 2 court seats require them - no congressional races. Keep your eyes on presidential contests in AZ/UT/ID/AS.

The Mississippi runoff on March 29 won't be held because no races require runoffs. Alabama runoffs on April 12 are only needed for two SBOE seats.

So that leaves MD/PA on April 26th as the next actual congressional primary date.

So could Rubio technically still run for Senate this year? The filing deadline isn't until May 6.

So could Rubio technically still run for Senate this year? The filing deadline isn't until May 6.

Yes, but I don't think anyone would bow out for him given the fact that the state just voted for a literal fascist over him in a landslide.

Marco Rubio has officially announced that he will not run for his Senate seat.

Anyone have information on the AR runoff?

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Anyone have information on the AR runoff?

Per http://m.thecabin.net/news/2016-03-01/arkansas-results-election-2016#gsc.tab=0, only one state house race is in need of a runoff. Court runoffs are held in November since they are nonpartisan offices.
