Close to calling both Senate primaries. Would be cool if Paul gets less than Booker.

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

Hopefully Bob Tiernan wins the primary for Governor though I wouldnt mind Bob Pierce too. Drazen imo would be a bad candidate as she is way to robotic and Pulliam would be a disaster

Didn't you say you'd back Drazan after Pierce said he'd look into expanding the OHP?

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

Looks like Politico of all people has the most up-to-date results.

That was before the debate though where Drazen came off as extremely robotic . Here’s how I’d describe the 4 candidates actually

Bud Pierce: He is running like a Mark Hatfield style Republican and is open to even working with Democrats on creating a public option in the state. He also believes we should invest in natural resources to help improve rural Oregon.

Bob Tiernan: He is pretty similar to Bud Pierce on issues such as housing/law and order/education but opposes a public option and is mainly running on improving competency in the different agencies in Oregon and generally has the most detailed platform by far on what he would do to help solve the problems in Oregon.

Christine Drazen: She basically is a typical establishment style Republican who gives standard talking points to issue after issue. For example in one of the debates she was asked how she would help solve the problems of rural Oregon and her answer was : "I am a small town girl who knows the problems of small towns which is why I will reduce the size of government so they can decide their own future". Literally as scripted as you can get

Stan Pulliam: He is a far right Republican running as a Rand Paul/Trump hybrid and generally gives angry answers to every possible issue.

Looked at it and I agree. Tiernan and Pierce both seem sane and people I'd vote for, Drazen seems sane but not my type, and Pulliam looks to be completely nuts.

Everybody exhale, the wizards are here

Has anybody seen Fivey Fox, though? 

He's at a farm upstate.

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

19 Minutes until we can get stuff out of NC.

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

As more rural Kentucky comes in, you'll see Booker do worse in his primary. That's an indication of dissatisfied voters who are locked into voting in their registered (but not necessarily preferred) party's primary.

Do you think Blanton or Merrill will win a county?

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

We might not know the result of the OR-05 primary tonight-

That's like the second ballot error of the night.

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

When will the Pennsylvania results start to drop?

5:00 PM my time (8PM Local). NC drops in two minutes though.

Do you think Blanton or Merrill will win a county?

Probably not, but if they do, it'll either be in coal country eastern Kentucky or far western Kentucky.

Yeah Merrill came within 7 in Pendleton. We'll see I guess.

5:00 PM my time (8PM Local). NC drops in two minutes though.

That's closing, I'm not sure how much will 'drop'; and in any case those sorts of drop are generally at least half an hour after closing.

Point is we should get some stuff however minuscule soon. The sad thing is that the only interesting race is Cawthorn's.

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

Just got some stuff from Alamance but I think it's safe Beasley at this point. I'd hold off on the GOP side though.

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

Cawthorn at 26% LOL

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

DDHQ calls it for Beasley

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

Cawthorn now at 21%. He might actually lose, wow.

Where did you get that from?

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

DDHQ isn't updating the counts for NC-11. They are probably having issues with the NYT paywall.

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

Is the state SOS office usually the fastest?

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

Lol at Renee Ellmers. When will she get the message?

She was running? For what lol?

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

I'm on the PA SOS website, should get stuff soon.

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

Hopefully we get some stuff soon.
