I sort of wish I'd been following this, but you have to make priorities about such things sometimes (sigh). Look forward to the maps anyway.

Oh, and wrt to any early vote statistics, there are certain patterns to look for in WV and they can sometimes be quite useful for predictive purposes.

And what pray tell are the patterns?  Which counties correlate with each other? Or is this a Sam Spade thingy?  Smiley

You basically need to see how solid Democratic turnout is in their various strongholds and whether Republican turnout is (relatively) good in the more populated areas (rather than their strongholds as such, if that makes sense). And also to see if there are any signs of funny surges of enthusiasm. You can then edit this for candidates. Tomblin will need relatively good (for a comedy turnout election) turnout in the southern coalfield counties, for example, because that's where he's known.

Dem coalfield turnout in the early voting was quite good.  More populated areas was so-so.

Btw, Dems say that this race is between 4-6 points.  GOP says 1-3 points and closing.  My guess is like 51-46, 51-47, 52-47 or 52-46, or something like that because of the early voting numbers.  But who knows.

Yeah, I will slightly correct my prediction and say:

52.4% Tomblin
44.9% Maloney
  2.7% Others

There are 3 Indies and history has shown that Indies are doing quite well in WV.

Fundraising numbers from Kentucky. Democrats have huge money leads for Governor, AG, Secretary of State, and Auditor. Treasurer is about even, and the Republican has a huge money lead for Agriculture Commissioner.

LA: Jindal at 57%, no one above 5%, 29% undecided. Somewhere in the 70s if that holds.

The Democratic candidate for Ag Commissioner in Kentucky is some humor writer; he's not a serious candidate.

I think it's possible for Democrats to win every statewide office besides that one though. SoS will probably be the closest one.

Endorsed. (Yes, I have the correct Bob Farmer.)

And Braun has him leading by more than some of the other downballot races!

Hard to say, but it will probably be around 70% with the undecideds factored in (+/- 5%).

On Red Racing Horses, they're saying his ceiling should be at 65%. I think I agree. Myself, I'll predict a bit higher, maybe 68%.

The MS governor's race has been bizarrely silent.  4 years ago, Eaves and Barbour were both running ads and slinging mud.  This year, nothing.  26 (the personhood amendment) is getting a lot of press, ads, etc., and there's been a bit of action in the AG race, but that's it.

KY is reporting:

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2011/by_county/KY_Governor_1108.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS

Second result seems to be faster. Beshear is winning 56-31-13 with about 10% in. All the downballot Dems except for Farmer are leading, though Hollenbach is only up 50-44.

With 56% in, Grimes is dominating 64-36 and the AP just called it for her.

She's definitely Senatorial material in 2014 or 2016; I see a ton of potential with her.

I haven't followed the WV race but how did Tomblin win while barely winning Kanawha? Actually, I think the initial results showed it being Republican.

He won the 3rd with like 67% of the vote and managed to get upper 40s in 1st and low fourties in 2nd.

Was it a regional appeal and/or was Tomblin economically liberal and socially conservative?

Regional appeal and I'm sure he is economically liberal as he comes from coal country. Much of his lead comes from the fact that he won his home county with 90+% of the vote.

I don't know if he is socially conservative, but I don't why he wouldn't be.
