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

[President Mitt]

WTF is going on with Orly Taitz?

[Lunar]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but Hurt is clearly going to be the nominee against our progressive friend Tom in VA, by a very strong margin too, leading everyone else combined, essentially, despite being a "tax-increaser"

I expected that but still:

It's too bad that there were so many teabagger candidates.

I expected him to win, just not by 48%ish, more like in the 30s, I mean he was the object of scorn by all the teaparties for raising taxes and faced like five challengers, that he would win the plurality was pretty obvious, but so decisively?  

He got 48 percent!? I only heard he won through this thread. I had no idea that it was such of a pwnage.

The establishment feeling, at least that which I am attuned to [I'm a Democrat in NYC fwiw] was that he was going to do MUCH worse, but was going to win anyway because he had eight opponents attacking him vigorously an thus splitting the anti-Hurt vote.

But he seems to have taken them to the house, which bodes very, very, very ill for Perriello

[Sam Spade]

Halter got some very strong showings in from Little River and Miller, two counties around Texarkana which were his strongest counties in the primary too.  Just fyi.

Lafayette, Sevier and Hempstead too.  Interesting.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Unsurprisingly, Branstad is winning in Iowa, 60-31.

More surprisingly, Brad Zaun has taken a huge lead in IA-03, he's up 51-22 over Jim Gibbons, but Polk is pretty much the only county reporting.

WTF is going on with Orly Taitz?

I don't think there's a psychologist in the world that could answer that question.

[Lunar]

WTF is going on with Orly Taitz?

She's on an 1 on 1 match with a lackluster opponent for whoever gets to be the sacrificial lamb for California SoS.  No votes have come in yet, but people figure, if no one knows whoever they are, the CA GOP will have to disavow her and be embarrassed from now until November.  

Kinda rooting for Orly to be honest.

[Progressive]

BREAKING- Halter now LEADS!

Getting ready to adjust your call again yet?

Does it? I suppose it depends if an independent tea bagger runs or not now. I'm inclined to believe that Perriello's odds are better in a Periello vs. Hurt vs. Indy Teabagger race than a Periello vs. Republican Teabagger race.

[Lunar]

BREAKING- Halter now LEADS!

OH YEAH

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Either the results are screwed up or Halter pulled off a miracle, because he's winning Pulaski 59-41.

[Sam Spade]

Well now, if Halter has a 59%-41% lead in Pulaski...

[Progressive]

Hurt has an electoral base in the district, and a history of being not completely insane on tax issues, having voted for Warner's budget in '04 or whatevsky, how's that going to hurt him when he so clearly dominated the GOP primary [read: activists] despite a laundry list of opponents attacking him?

[JohnnyLongtorso]

It didn't hurt Hurt that his opposition was so scattershot. Rigell had a couple of decent opponents with military backgrounds and money, Mizusawa and Loyola. Hurt's opposition was small potatoes compared to those two.

[Sam Spade]

Well now, if Halter has a 59%-41% lead in Pulaski...

lol

Lincoln won the first round there 52-40.  Halter is from there, of course.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Haha, Arkansas.

[Eraserhead]

WTF?

[Progressive]

UGH NOW LINCOLNS AHEAD AGAIN IN AR. UGGGGH

[xavier110]

They updated it w/ correct Pulaski #s... Still 51-49 Lincoln.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

HAHHAAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA

The SC Democrats just nominated an unemployed military vet who had no signs, no money and no website, and hadn't been seen since he filed.

BAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA. PATHETIC.
He doesn't even have a website! WTF?

I suspect it was case of people voting against Vic Rawl and not caring who his opponent was.  In either case, they were going to lose, so it doesn't bother me too much.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

So someone entered in Pulaski backwards?

There's still 52% of the base that voted against the guy, and keep in mind that this is the same electorate which thought Virgil Goode, basically the proto-tea partier, was a good representative.

Well now, if Halter has a 59%-41% lead in Pulaski...

lol

Lincoln won the first round there 52-40.  Halter is from there, of course.

The two big counties in NW Arkansas (Benton (Bentonville) & Washington (Fayetteville)) are totally out.  How did they vote the last time?  

[Sam Spade]

They updated it w/ correct Pulaski #s... Still 51-49 Lincoln.

They f-ed up the Pulaski numbers, as I suspected.

Lincoln won both.  Benton by a lot.  Washington by the same as Pulaski, which is why I posted the above prediction many pages back.
