Capuano really didn't deserve to lose. With all the awful milquetoast deadweights we have in the Dem caucus, why in the world are we primarying solid progressives like him?

Well, he was primaried because Pressley is ambitious and was bored of waiting and made the calculation that it was better to risk a challenge - after all Capuano had not fought a contested election in twenty years, that debacle of a Senate run aside - than waiting any longer.

Because that's where Pressley lived.  And who are "we" ?

...I mean, yeah, of course. I'm just baffled that she got any support, I guess.

I find it funny how 1st and 2nd are narrow enough to put the race in recount margins, but the difference in raw votes between 3rd and 4th is actually slightly smaller.

Well, we've answered the question of how best to gerrymander 2 Republican-friendly districts in Massachusetts.

It would only be one tilt R seat and one tossup, but yeah, that is the best way to do it.

Carper's opponent in the primary, Harris, has published her plan to take the seat in an article:

Republicans could win 4 of these seats in a good year, and 3 would be perennial toss ups

1. White D+18
2. Green D+2
3. Purple D+2
4. Red D+18
5. Yellow D+18
6. Teal (Boston) D+32
7. Gray D+11
8. Gray-Blue D+4
9. Light Blue D+2

All those D+2 seats would be competitive, Romney probably won the South Shore one

This. I think this race is a sleepy ish one. Obviously now I think Carper win, but it could be by lethargic Menendez like numbers in his primary against that random lady earlier this year. I predict 62-38 for Carper tonight in the primary.

An upset though would utterly surprise me though, I think Carper wins by a lame but comfortable margin. I think he does best in New Castle and could come close to losing the other two.

Wouldn’t Kent and Sussex have more pragmatic democrats than nutty socialist types you might find in the Philly metro in Newcastle

New Castle is largely Democratic voters who tend to support establishment candidates. Kent and Sussex, with fewer Democrats, could also have more liberal ones.

You may be right, I’m basing it off what I have seen over the past year or so before. NJ primary lady did better in the more gop parts of NJ, and more moderate incumbents do better with minorities in primary challenges, and that area is New Castle county.

I have no idea who his opponent is, but I don't really like Carper and any Dem will win the General Election.

So, unless the opponent is crazy, GO OPPONENT!
