The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

[Miles]

Not good for Handel: Perdue is slightly ahead in DeKalb and she's only leading by 3 in Gwinnett. Less than 33% in for both, but still.

[Miles]

Ouch. The first big vote dump in Cobb has Perdue slightly beating Handel.

[Miles]

Kingston gets 2nd place, says AOSHQDD.

[Miles]

If we get a Perdue/Kingston race (which seems to be very likely), then it will be interesting to see if an Atlanta vs. "Real Georgia" dynamic emerges.  I like campaigns with regional cleavages

Neither Perdue or Kingston are from Atlanta though.

Did Jack Kingston just completely dominate in his own CD?

Yes, and south GA in general. He got 70%+ in many counties he's represented.

[Miles]

Called a while ago, but Shuster hangs on 52-36.

[Miles]

Erickson is endorsing Kingston now.

[Miles]

NYT still doesn't have a call for GA. Handel would need to net at least 33K votes with 90% of Gwinnett still being out, 99% of DeKalb, 66% of Cobb and 50% of Fulton.

[Miles]

Almost 50% in for GA-11 and a runoff is looking imminent between Loudermilk (40%) and Barr (25%).

[Miles]

AP checkmark for Hill in AR-02.

[Miles]

Very early OR results:

AOS called for Wehby already.

46% in. That was quick.

[Miles]

AR-04 getting close again. Moll back up to 47% with 63% in.

Moll cleaned up in Pine Bluff, but there still seems to be some pro-Westerman areas out.

[Miles]

AR-04 called for Westerman.

Also, NYT has 86% in for GA. Kingston still leads Handel 26-22.

[Miles]

^ An exact mirror image of 2010 when it comes to tea party vs. establishment:

59-35 Paul -> 60-36 McConnell.

[Miles]

AP makes the call for Wehby.

Also, the AP has Hank Johnson scraping by with 55%.

Good thing we'll still have someone in Congress worrying about Guam capsizing.

[Miles]

Here's a map

Hmmm....Bevin won 2 counties. Both are in Eastern Kentucky, which is supposed to be the more moderate part of the state

Eastern Kentucky is VERY diverse. Southeastern Kentucky is coal country and very poor, two things which lend themselves to McConnell (he's seen as pro-coal and is also more of a big government Republican). Northeastern Kentucky is home to the Cincy suburbs, which are some of the most conservative ones in the country. They are much more likely to lean toward Bevin.

Yep. Most of Trey Grayson's counties were in the southeast, too:

[Miles]

ID-02: AP checkmark for the Pelosi Republican.

[Miles]

AR-04 with about 93% in. Westerman = blue, Moll = red. No precincts yet from Sevier or Newton counties.

[Miles]

First few CD4 returns have Ratcliffe leading 51-49.

[Miles]

I wish they had the CDs broken down by county.

Anywho, Hall still slightly behind, Cancesco trailing by 14 and Babin leads by 12.

[Miles]

Well, I was pulling for Hall; I had a bad feeling for him, but I'm kinda surprised he actually lost.

For TX-36, I guess Harris County must still be out. Thats probably why its not called yet despite Babin's 20-point lead.

[Miles]

Yep, the SoS site has only 9/91 precincts in for Harris County. Thats delaying the CD36 call.

The TX Tribune calls CD36 for Babin.


The AP has every precinct in and Babin leads by 16.
