The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

[Maxwell]

Looks like Palazzo may avoid a run-off. Currently a 50-43. Still, impressive results for Taylor.

And holy ish, this is suspenseful.

[Donerail]

What happened in Wilkinson County on the Dem side? Childers got 4th there while winning every other county.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

83% in and McDaniel is over 50.

[Torie]

No more votes out in DeSoto County and McDaniel's at 49.9%.

Rankin will be decisive, but don't underestimate the importance of the remaining vote in Warren, Pontotoc, Lafayette, and Oktibbeha County.  

Yes, Cochran should do well in Warren.

Yes, Cochran should do well in Warren.

The current numbers have McDaniel slightly leading there.

[LeBron]

Here's what I don't get about Ernst.

How did she manage to get both massive tea party support and massive establishment (US Chamber of Commerce + Marco Rubio) support?  Are castration ads really that effective to GOP donors?

Before Ernst released her castration-squeal ad, the IA Senate race (including the GOP Primary) was barely mentioned at all in national media except being considered a potential GOP pickup. The repeal, "gun to Obamacare" thing is what won the support of people like Sarah Palin and the Tea Party while the fact that Ernst emphasized her farming background and her conservative credentials won over the establishment and Romney.

And yay! There's still hope for McDaniel!!!

For the recent other updates, Walsh is still crushing the anti-gay Bohlinger while Lewis is still winning handily in the Dem House primary and Stapleton is leading Zinke 36-33 with 2% in.

Also in New Mexico, Allen Weh, the former NM GOP Party Chairman recovers from his 2010 gubernatorial loss and will be Udall's bait. He beat David Clements 63-37 who's best known for plagiarizing Rand Paul.

[Ab1234mdusr]

I actually feel sorry for Cochran. First the whole incident involving his wife, now a decades-old career possibly coming to an end.

[Never]

AOSHQDD says projected turnout is at 96% already, with McDaniel inching up to 50.84%, Cochran down to 47.48%

[7,052,770]

No more votes out in DeSoto County and McDaniel's at 49.9%.

Rankin will be decisive, but don't underestimate the importance of the remaining vote in Warren, Pontotoc, Lafayette, and Oktibbeha County.  

Yes, Cochran should do well in Warren.

No, I wouldn't think so...

[Maxwell]

How is Matt Schultz, the Iowa secretary of state, in third place? That's a pretty pathetic. Career ending performance I say.

I believe he's running for the House.

Anyway, "Mamacita" just took the lead in MS, with about 80% in.

Um, I know he's running for the house. I am saying it's pretty embarassing someone who has won statewide as a Republican is in third in a primary for a house seat.

[ElectionsGuy]

Ernst has her primary easily, getting >50% of the vote with 22% in.

[7,052,770]

Heart pounding. Stomach in knots.

Childers vs. McDaniel would be extremely entertaining, but SUCH a huge downside if things don't go our way. I just wanted Cochran to win and have it be over...

[Miles]

89% for MS-04.

'Banking on 13 precincts between Jackson and Harrison counties for Taylor.

[Never]

I actually feel sorry for Cochran. First the whole scandal, now a decades-old career possibly coming to an end.

I have little sympathy for him. I line up with Cochran somewhat more so than McDaniel, but if he wanted to hold on to his seat without the fight that he is in right now, he should have been more proactive. He seemed to lack understanding of the Tea Party before McDaniel showed up as a threat.

[ElectionsGuy]

I think Palazzo will win this without a runoff. What a powerful run by Gene Taylor though.

He's at 51% with 94% in.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Rankin numbers have not changed on Politico for a while. Has there been any updates?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Two words: Technicolor yawn.

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

McDaniel up by 5000. Not looking good.

Is that a reference to something?

Yeah, Cochran saying he didn't know much about the tea party and his Obamacare is awesome gaffe may have cost him the election.

Why, redneck rectangle, why? (the area from George to Smith County) 

Ugh

Cochran did well in the delta; he did well in the coast.  He did well in NE Mississippi.  His only real weak spots are NW Mississippi and the Redneck Rectangle.  But thanks to Jones County's crazy turnout, that might be enough for McDaniel.

[Never]

AOSHQDD up to 97% projected turnout, McDaniel up to 50.9%, Cochran down to 47.4%.

The trend is going in the wrong direction for Cochran right now.

[Donerail]

For the recent other updates, Walsh is still crushing the anti-gay Bohlinger while Lewis is still winning handily in the Dem House primary and Stapleton is leading Zinke 36-33 with 2% in.

"Gay, lesbian and bisexual Americans lived in the shadows. An outed gay man was regarded as a security risk, a potential traitor and not entitled to any position of trust." - John Bohlinger, listing reasons why the 1950s were bad.

"America has changed, and some of have learned and permitted our thoughts and beliefs to change and grow as well. The average American is not a financially successful middle-aged heterosexual Christian white guy. We are gay and straight, male, female and transgendered, we have pale skins or dark skins, we are young and old." - John Bohlinger on Americans.

If you're going to attack the guy, at least do so accurately.

No, it's just a slang term for vomiting, unless you knew that already.

BTW: Did Main Street Advocacy, the Conservative Victory Project, or another center-right PAC (other than Mississippi Conservatives) come in for Cochran?  Because they should've.

Bohlinger is pro-gay marriage.

Pro-marriage, or pro-gay marriage?  That's an important qualifier.
