6/8 Primaries - AR, CA, IA, ME, MT, NV, NJ, ND, SC, SD, VA (results links in OP)

I was on a walk and passed my polling place, so I voted for Frelinghuysen (and against the Tea Party candidate Luzzi) in his primary.  I hope Runyan wins his primary today even though Adler will probably kill whoever challenges him with his bottomless corporate pockets.

+1 Runyan (lol like my vote will change anything)

Only interesting race for me in the NJ 3rd.

Well, it actually could!  Turnout is unbelievably terrible statewide.  Runyan's own district had about 30 voters out of 1,200 or so.  It's been similar in other Mount Laurel districts.  In mine, I was the 9th voter.

Kind of makes me a little sick to my stomach, since I'm a 'Boys fan, but he is much better than the alternative and Adler.

ME-Gov called for LePage... Libby Mitchell maintaining a 35-24 lead over Rowe.

Seems good, I like the things the LePage has to say from what I've heard.

Looks like Carly's coasting through this, unfortunately.

California is so liberal!

Indeed, but it is also polarized.

Every state is.

Not really.  There was a graphic posted recently that showed pretty well how polarized different states are.  California was wildly polarized.  And it's a bit disingenuous to suggest the state's liberal reputation is ill deserved.

WTF Nevada, really?  Tarkanian AND Lowden were both great and you chose the wackadoo that will serve one term at best.

Mrs. "Let's fund our health care system with chickens" was great?

Was it a stupid comment based on a stupid idea, yes.  But the context makes more sense than it sounds.  And that's over with anyway, so I chose to overlook that glaring fault.  Relativity should be a general theme when talking about great politicians.

I still don't understand why you like Republican mainstream establishment tools. With your current belief system, I'd expect you to be a Democrat.

I don't really know to be honest.  I think it's just because I consider politics in the same way I consider sports and I chose my team.  It's fun to root for the Republicans even though I really can't stand about 85% of them because they're my team.  But my voting habits are totally different for the record.  Don't worry about me actually voting for any of these tool-bags, haha.
