CPRM, Pt 3: LA 11/6

[Meatball Ron]

In other news, Rachel Rollins, seen as the most progressive candidate in the race for Suffolk County DA (pretty impressive criminal justice reform stances), beat frontrunner Greg Henning in that primary.

There is also a race for the DA happening in Middlesex, but I cant find the results for that one.

The incumbent is up 55-45 with a bit under half of the vote in, but it hasn't been called. Similar situation in the surprisingly contentious Suffolk Register of Deeds race.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet or not, but isn't it kinda nutty the GOP isn't fielding a candidate in 4 of 9 House races in Mass?   Is this normal?

I believe in 2016 they did not field anyone in 6 of the 9 districts. It's MA.

Yes.

Dems currently taking up around 68% of the primary vote, and the lead is growing. Might be 70% by the time all precincts ship in.

Why is NH having their primary on 9/11?

Because Massachusetts moved ours to avoid Rosh Hashanah and NH didn’t.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

I’m done!!! LItalien and Wu lost! Pressley winning doesn’t accomplish anything!

If I lived in Massachusetts, I would have put in serious consideration towards raiding the Republican Governor primary for Scott Lively.

How can anyone be so pumped up for that primary? They are literally the same candidate.

Why is NH having their primary on 9/11?

NH always wants to be special.

Oh NH, even trying to be so special it wrote being the first primary into its own constitution.

How can anyone be so pumped up for that primary? They are literally the same candidate.

Maybe because she defeated a 20-year incumbent? Maybe because she was the underdog? Maybe because she's gonna be the first black woman in Congress from MA? Maybe because she's relieved that a week of stress finally paid off? Heck if we know. She's overwhelmed with emotion. Seriously, Bagel, think.

Wait. Why are there 50K more votes cast in the AG Dem Primary than the Gov Primary?

What does everyone have against Lynch?!

Anti-choice and anti-healthcare in a D+10 district...what would a generic Democrat not have against him?

"Anti-choice"

Every member of the MA delegation has a 100% score from NARAL in recent years, but that's not enough.  You can't have anything in your history that suggests you have any qualms about abortion at all.

It’s not just that. He’s the most hawkisgh democrat in Congress.  At least Hillary only supported the Iraq war once, he voted for it for quite some time.

Fun fact: There's a town in western Massachusetts named Florida.  Scott Lively, the Anita Bryant of Massachusetts, is beating Charlie Baker there.

It's weird there's sort of a line running north-south Florida to Tolland where he's doing well.  Any idea why?
Is Scott Lively known at all in Mass., or were people picking him not knowing who he is ?

I don't get what you're arguing here. The guy identifies as pro-life, and there were other years he had a 0% from NARAL.

I'd be interested to hear someone from Massachusetts on this question.

Hes basically representing the more conservative candidate. Look at Phil Scott, he got a similar percentage. This is why. The R base is growing more conservative, and their candidates arent.

Yeah, Lori Trahan is going to take it in 03. Gifford is now trailing Koh.

Comments?

Shame L'Italien crashed and burned.
