2022 Primary Election Night Coverage Megathread (9/13 - GRAND FINALE - DE, NH, RI)

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

I really want Oz to win just for the inevitable clusterfk campaign we'll be getting.

Who's campaign would be more of a complete disaster?

I really want Oz to win just for the inevitable clusterfk campaign we'll be getting.

I don't think Fetterman versus Barnette would be particularly boring either.

True, but Oz has a certain aura given his "celebrity" status. Barnette is insane, but there's a million insane Republicans running this year.

[MT Treasurer]

So sick of this meme that Oz is a 'strong' candidate, let alone stronger than Barnette. He’s a phony and a grifter who’s way easier to paint as untrustworthy and out for himself than Barnette. It will also be hilarious to see the Trump cultists' meltdown if Oz loses and Barnette actually wins this (and she still has a chance based on what I’m seeing so far).

Standard disclaimer for primary vote totals not being predictive, but if the OH Sen vote totals spelled doom for Dems there, then the NC numbers should offer a glimmer of hope. Dems will end up having roughly the same total primary vote despite a slightly less competitive primary.

Extra disclaimer: Dems apparently had 60% of the total primary vote in 2020 and lost the senate race under similar conditions.

Regardless, indicates Beasley has a lot of fervent supporters and that Dem enthusiasm may be better than it was after the abortion decision got leaked.

...No, they won’t? (like, not even close...)

BTW I thought for a minute "oh damn I should play music from bands from Pennsylvania" for a bit but then I remembered I'm listening to Superchunk who are from North Carolina so it's still fitting my rule!

Dictator Doug is going down in November.

[Burke Bro]

Honestly, it doesn't look like a Barnette win is happening tonight. She's not doing strong enough with EDay votes.

Really hope you're wrong as a Barnette candidacy is the only way Fetterman can win.

Oz is under water with Republicans. Barnette will also likely go on the offensive against him as the GOP nominee. He is a phony. I am not as worried about Oz’s candidacy as others are.

If Democrats are going all in with Fetterman and his Pennsylvania first/populist style of politics, then Oz is the best candidate Democrats could hope for him to face in November. He's a literal out of touch carpetbagger from New Jersey.

I did not expect for Lamb to get destroyed to this extent everywhere other than Pittsburgh and Philly. It's like everyone but Fetterman forgot to campaign in these areas.

On another note you can really see how Trumpy NEPA is.

Summer Lee not out of the game just yet...

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Both are objectively terrible candidates with their own weaknesses (for instance, Barnette's insanity makes up for her I-actually-live-in-the-state advantage over Oz).

Biden endorses Fetterman:

Same here. I thought that Lamb would've taken the lead in at least one county tonight.

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

So Cawthorn is pretty much finished, right?

99% in and he's still down a whole two points.

The contrast between the two seems near perfect for Fetterman.

I would have faith in this logic, but it kinda gives me Trump 2016 vibes.

Eh his only geographical advantage was negated by the fact that Fetterman also lived there.

[Lief 🗽]

Mastriano + Bartlett is >60% of the primary vote and only going to grow. The GOP primary electorate has completely gone off the deep end.

[MT Treasurer]

I would have faith in this logic, but it kinda gives me Trump 2016 vibes.

Except that Fetterman doesn’t have a historically low favorability rating for a Democratic candidate for federal office.

Fair point, but usually a couple of counties break away from the statewide winner anyway. So far, only Philly's done that since Kenyatta's from there.

Fatterman is an obese guy who just had a stroke...

Yes!  Exactly why regular Pennsylvanians can identify with Big John.  

[Utah Neolib]

Bye Cawthorn?

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

Horus is a Doomer FETTERMAN can beat any R

Fatterman is an obese guy who just had a stroke...

I can assure you, being an obese guy is part of the appeal in this not-exactly-slim state

[Sestak]

Would peg the odds at 80% for Oz, 18% for Barnette, and like 2% for McCormick.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yep Cawthorn is definitely done.

I posted it in another thread, but Cook just announced on Twitter that they're moving PA-GOV to Lean D.
