Yes Sam, no doubt the Bubba factor was huge in a Dem primary. I wonder how the black vote went in Arkansas, with both Bubba and Obama supporting Lincoln.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Maine just dumped a bunch of precincts in. Now at 40%. LePage is pretty much guaranteed to win at this point, he's at 37-17 over Otten, while Peter Mills has pulled into third at 14. Mitchell is up 35-26 over Rowe.

What does two plus two... um... yeah...

There is not a single county in the country that voted for McCain that I'd like to live in.

I think Hooker Counties is a better description than Cow Counties. (Though granted I'm sure there are far more hookers in Clark than those places.)

Of course you wouldn't want to live in any of the Hooker Counties.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Lowden ahead in the Clark County absentees, 37-33. Tarkanian wins the Mineral County absentees, 39-26-25. Tarkanianmentum!

Of course not. I've never actually paid for sex anyway, I've gotten a few erotic massages that count as prostitution granted, but shady massage parlors are far more easily found in any major city, and not exactly difficult to get away with even if it's illegal.

Lincoln dominated the black vote first time around too.  Just moreso this time, it seems.

Southwest Arkansas swung against her hard, which I'm wondering if Al can explain.

I think Mineral is a hooker county. Lowden doing that well with the absentees in Clark may be good news for Angle. Who got 33% in Clark and what was the third percentage?  Granted, they may be relatively early absentee ballots, when Lowden had not yet tanked as much as she did in the last 10 days.

[Joe Republic]

Oops, I forgot this was today.  Oh well, so much for my vote.

People actually live in Mineral County?

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.

Was Rawl unpopular or something. I had a friend working on his campaign and he's truly in shock. DeMint will win in a walk now.

Don't know.  Could be the case that since neither candidate did campaigning as far as I could tell (Rawl was likely saving his funds for the general) it boiled down to people against the candidate they had heard of in an anti-incumbent year if Rawl never put out a message of why people should vote for him in the primary.

Well, Lincoln increased her lead to 51.7%. Next up, Republicans in California like Carlyfiornia.

Hope is in Southwest Arkansas. Go figure. Doesn't Texarkana still have some yellow dog Dems who are not dead yet?

[Eraserhead]

Called for Lincoln.

[cinyc]

Sipprelle will wing the NJ-12 primary.  Middlesex really came through.  Somerset was marginal.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Arkansas has turned into a nightmare.

How much percentage left for precincts?

This appears to be the only Dem runoff in the entire state. How bad is that turnout going to be?

People actually live in Mineral County?

Yes, the hookers, and ancillary service personnel, and a few cattle people, and anti social retirees living on their social security. It is a huge county, and maybe has 2,000 folks living in it or something.

Yes.  They're much more alive in southwest Arkansas, though.

Go Halter!! LINCOLN 2010!

LOLL

[Lunar]

Senator Boozman, where's my booze, man? 

[cinyc]

AP calls the SD-AL Republican primary for Noem, as I projected.

[Sam Spade]

Just as bad news for Dems is that the black is ahead in AR-02, 53-47 (still only 66% in)
