2016 Congressional Primaries

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

All AZ winners:

AZ-01 R: Babeu
AZ-01 D: O'Halleran
AZ-02 D: Heinz
AZ-04 R: Gosar
AZ-05 R: Jones
AZ-05 D: Fuentes
AZ-06 R: Schweikert
AZ-06 D: Williamson
AZ-08 R: Franks
AZ-09 R: Giles
AZ SEN R: McCain

McCain's win came almost entirely on the backs of Maricopa County; without it he would have come VERY close to losing.

The next primary is in Massachusetts on September 8th.

So they again nominated the worst for an open seat? Paul Babeu lol lol

Ward > McCain you should want new people in.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I'm surprised that Ward managed to put up a respectable showing and actually outperform Hayworth.  I was expecting her to do much worse, especially after last week's comments.

Ward > McCain you should want new people in.

Look, this isn't the same as say, Utah, or Idaho, for example. If Lee or Crapo had lost their primaries, either seat would remain Republican. This one, on the other hand, is not like that. McCain vs. Kirkpatrick is Likely R. Ward vs. Kirkpatrick, on the other hand, would Lean D. Glad the Arizona Republicans are as smart as the Indiana Republicans and chose the electable candidate. If you really want someone new to take this seat, you'll have to wait at least another six years. Sorry.

I think Lean rep and toss up would be more appropriate.

Per Ballotpedia, the only contested primary here is MA-9 R, but that district is Safe D anyway. Boring.

Yes, that's correct. If MA was going to elect a republican to congress, MA-9 is probably where it would happen, but it's not going to happen in a presidential year.

Tom Guild has conceded the Oklahoma 5 democratic runoff. Al McAffrey will face Rep. Steve Russell in November.

Results for MA-09 R primary? I know it's a right to lose race, but those are still fun.

It is not until September 8th.

Okay, thanks! I thought it was today, no wonder I couldn't find anything. Massachusetts and Tennessee are the only states with Thursday primaries, right?

After a recount, Walter Dartland has been confirmed as the winner of the FL-2 Democratic Nomination.

For those wondering, the AZ-5 Recount will not take place until next week. Currently Andy Biggs has a 9 vote edge over Christine Jones.

Yes, although Tennessee had its primaries a month ago.

It will be interesting to see who wins the Arizona recount. (I personally don't really care.) The race was really close (on the first count). I do not expect the margin to be by too much but either outcome is possible with a difference of only 9 votes.

Some rather meaningless numbers to start things off:

U.S. House - District 9 - GOP Primary
Southeast Corner

Name   Party   Votes   Vote %
O'Malley, Thomas   GOP   3   75%
Alliegro, Mark   GOP   1   25%

U.S. House - District 9 - GOP Primary

Name   Party   Votes   Vote %
Alliegro, Mark   GOP   2,658   63%
O'Malley, Thomas   GOP   1,535   37%

It's a slow count, but the outcome looks pretty clear.

Looks like Alliegro is going to be the one to lose to Keating this year. The district (I think) is trending R, so I suppose he could use the opportunity to build up name recognition and campaign practice for a future run.

That district is D+5, making it the second least Democratic in the state behind the D+4 MA-06, but this one is probably going to be the one with better chances for Republicans. Richard Tisei, who I think is a great fit for MA-06, lost badly in the Republican wave of 2014, and it was an open seat, and his close political ally Charlie Baker won the district in his governor race (yes, I know governor races are not federal, but still).

Also Moulton is a good candidate.

Anyway, I don't think it's quite time to call the race for Alliegro yet, depending on what precincts have reported. There could be some Cape Cod vs. South Shore geographic stuff going on here.

Tisei probably should have agreed to be Lieutenant Governor, or at least the nominee again. He and Baker came impressively close in 2010.
