2012 Non-Presidential Primaries Thread (6/12 - AR runoff, ME, ND, NV, SC, VA)

[Miles]

Critz has almost 52% with 88% in.

[Miles]

PA-12 @90% C 51 A 49!

Well, I'm glad whomever loses at least makes a good showing.

[Miles]

From DKE:

"...Critz's old portion of PA-12 is only 27% of the voters in the new 12th, but it accounted for 40% of the turnout tonight. That's some pretty amazing home-turf GOTV."

Any NC House primaries to watch for?

As far as incumbents, not really. Jones has a more conservative challenger, but I doubt anything happens.

I also can't wait to see who wins the NC-09 GOP primary...and becomes my next Congressman

[Miles]

Politico is saying Mourdock is up 51/49 with 0% in.

[Miles]

Mourdock just crossed 60%...

[Miles]

The Huffington Post says NBC has called it for Mourdock.

[Miles]

Romney is right at 65% in NC.

[Miles]

Is Lugar going to be able to run as a write-in or independent candidate similar to Alaska's Senate race in 2010?

If I recall, he said he isn't accepting write-in votes.

[Miles]

Renee Ellmers is only at 53% in a four-way contest. This is actually bordering on an open-seat contest though; the new CD2 only has 25% of the old one.

[Miles]

According to PPP, the only counties that have so far voted no on Amendment 1 are: Buncombe, Chatham, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Mecklenburg, Orange, Wake and Watauga.

Not very surprising.

Amendment 1 is failing the worst in Orange; it only got 21% there.

[Miles]

Here's Amendment 1 by county.

Bigotry wins again in NC? Ugh.

No, virtue won if this law would've lost bigotry wouldve won.

Of course, I mean that in the friendliest way....

Rouzer is currently ahead by 300 votes in NC-07, he has 83% in Johnston and is tied in Sampson, but is loosing everything else by 2-1 or more.

We always knew this would be a good race to watch.

That would be funny if he wins with just Johnston and Sampson.

Here's what Rouzer-Pantano looks like so far:



Rouzer is leading with 37% in Hoke.

Rouzer appears to have won by 3% 48%-45%

Johnston is Boss:
Johnston 41/41
Pantano 12%
Rouzer 82%
Crow 7%

Yeah. Kudos to Rouzer.

The problem for Rouzer though is that he'll be pretty unknown in the rest of the district, territory that McIntyre has represented for 16 years. McIntyre was already going to perform poorly in Johnston because of the counties strong GOP lean. It will be a good race to watch.

In the ND-AL race, Cramer beat Kalk 54/46. Mason-Dixon's recent poll had Cramer up by 39.

[Miles]

Here's where we are in the AR-01 D runoff. With pretty much everything in, Scott Ellington (red) is on track to beat Clark Hall (blue) by a few hundred votes.

5% color scale.

[Miles]

New York also has congressional primaries on the 26th.

Which have the potential to send the most radical politician in New York to Congress. Should be crazy.

Paladino isn't running for Congress.

[Miles]

Well, the NC runoff is today. As I said before, I'm pulling for Robert Pittenger in NC-09 R primary.

Jim Pendergraph has the potential to be worse than Myrick; his signs campaign even look exactly like hers did.

[Miles]

On a second look, I've decided to support Pendergraph.

I just went to vote with my mom (she's a registered Republican). I told her to vote for Pendergraph for Congress and Jim Gurley for Lt. Gov. (because he was polling worse against Linda Coleman).

Well, bad night for me...

Pendergraph actually won the Mecklenburg portion of NC-09 by about 3 points. Pittenger cleaned house in the Union and Iredell parts though.

[Miles]

MI-14 kinda sucked...Peters did run a much better campaign though.

Maybe Clarke will run for something in the future....

[Miles]

Another vote dump in MO-01..with 49.8%, Clay is up 61-36.

[Miles]

What is going on in MI-11?

Bentivolio is up 65-35 with 72% reporting, he won.

Was Bentivolio the Paulite, or was that the write-in guy?
