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

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Campbell's winning Santa Cruz, fwiw. Probably one of the counties that carries the least weight in a GOP primary.

Campbell may well carry the Bay area. Pity that the number of Republicans there can fit into a ballroom.

The day any Republican wins the Bay Area (especially Berkeley), I will eat my hat.

Berkeley had a Republican mayor and a Republican city council into the 1960s.

As in right now.

Out of curiosity, does anybody know how much of the UC demonstration movement were actually active voters during their college life?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Well, I guess I was wrong about Blanche Lincoln.

Whitman and Fiornia are currently leading in every county that has results.

Not so many before the 26th amendment was passed.

Brian Sandoval wins the GOP Governor primary. Governor Gibbons is history.

[Torie]

Angle-Lowden could end up to be a skin tight race. We need another vote dump of today votes in Clark to know.

He meant in the primary.

I know that.  But as he said, the amount of GOP in the Bay Area literally fits into one ballroom.  Thus, it's almost impossible for any GOP candidate to win the Bay Area (in the current status of CA that is)

     Well he is obviously exaggerating. Off the top of my head, 11% of registered voters in San Francisco County are Republicans, which works out to about 50,000 voters. You got the point, at any rate.

San Francisco has more McCain voters per square mile than Orange County.

Ah, I see.  I forgot that the 26th amendment was passed in the 70s.

Best news of the night.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Called for Whitman.

    Newsom is winning the primary for California Lt. Governor. Must say I am rather ambivalent about it.

He's not that left-wing economically, which is a plus for someone like yourself, on the other hand, it is pretty much a demotion on his part.

     I heard talk of a soda tax from his corner (well, from his wife specifically). I think it's pretty obvious how I feel about such a notion. Personally, I am afraid that getting elected to statewide office will do nothing but feed his further political aspirations.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

NY Times just called it for Meg Whitman.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Any call for Fiorina yet?

[tmthforu94]

Angle-Lowden could end up to be a skin tight race. We need another vote dump of today votes in Clark to know.

I (sadly) don't see it. Angle is now leading by 7, with 32% in. These are extremely disappointing results. Everyone prepare for another session with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

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.

Not in the Vietnamese zone in the great OC, even with the lower voter spatial density.

It's gonna happen, whether you like it or not. -Gavin Newsom

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Did the Democrats did just nominate there worst candidates in not only AR-02 but also AR-01?

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

As much as I would be happy with Reid keeping his seat, I hope he decides to step down as Majority Leader anyways.

     The outlying counties are pipsqueaks. It feels odd to say, but we really can't say anything definitive until Clark County starts pouring in.

I would agree, except that this will be the RNC's top race to win in November, which means lots of $.

But as PiT said, you can't say anything until Clark county starts pouring in.

Angle-Lowden could end up to be a skin tight race. We need another vote dump of today votes in Clark to know.

We still have about 1/3rd of Washoe (Reno), plus all of Douglas (Lake Tahoe) and Lyon (Fernley + Carson City exurbs) in the Reno area to give Angle more of a margin.  Then, Clark matters.  Every other county is very small, save Nye (Pahrump/Vegas exurbs + Tonopah/middle of nowhere). Will Nye follow Clark?  Maybe - a lot of the population is in the Pahrump area.

Look at the numbers below:

Total   679/2126   

Angle 32,647

Lowden 26,996


Clark   107/1181   

Angle 17,714

Lowden 18,693

[Vepres]

Fiorina has yet to be declared the winner. Does that really mean anything?

[cinyc]

Updated Clark from their website:

Precincts Reporting: 375 of 1175 (31.91%)
Candidate   Graph   Votes   %
Angle, Sharron    22,470    35.74%
Lowden, Sue           20,901    33.24%
Tarkanian, Danny     13,185    20.97%


Not looking good for Lowden.
