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

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

MS-Sen: AP with 72.7% of precincts in and Cochran at 50.9%, McDaniel at 49.1%.

That's called McDaniel being on pace to catch up...

And we still have 30% of the vote to count in Jones.

[Donerail]

Jones doesn't look like it'll be enough for McDaniel this time. With a third left to count, Cochran's 200 under his previous total and McDaniel is over 4000 under.

[7,052,770]

Lamar still out there.

[cinyc]

So far, McDaniel is running about 5 points behind his primary tally in Jones with turnout relatively down a bit.  Though, of course, we don't know which precincts are out.

[Miles]

NY-13: Rangel trails 3:1 in early votes.

[7,052,770]

Cochran up by 7000 again.

[LeBron]

Jones is starting to come in (about 30% more vote to be counted from there) and Cochran is back to a narrow 7,000 vote lead (51.5-48.5) over McDaniel! And there's still more vote to come from a few other McDaniel counties including Lamar and Perry. Come on McDaniel!!!!

[TJ in Oregon]

Yay! Lankford wins! I was worried about this race when a runoff would have just led to a Shannon win and a Republican nomination would have led to a Republican Senator. So even though Lankford is by far one of the worst party-line, hard-line conservatives out there, at least Republicans lost their fuel at an opportunity for another black Senator on their side before 2016 comes around.

So basically what you're saying is that you're glad a white guy won instead of a black guy, right?

[ElectionsGuy]

My guess is Cochran wins 50.5-49.5

Why the hell are you cheering for McDaniel??

[RogueBeaver]

Looks like Cochran holds on?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

77% in, so far so good for Cochran. But not called by anyone yet.

It looks like Cochran might pull this off, but I'm not ruling out a comeback by McDaniel.

[Miles]

AOS calls it for Cochran.

[RogueBeaver]

I could be wrong, but IIRC the last Senator to win both runoff & GE was McClellan '72.

Adam is a rather tedious partisan who thinks it could lead to a D+1 or at least make the Rs look stupid.

[ag]

Looks like campaign experience will win, having been forewarned in time. Barely though.

It may, but it would still be bad for Mississippi.

[Never]

AOS calls it for Cochran.

Good for Cochran. I hope this call is accurate.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

AOS calls it for Cochran.

Hold on there, AOS, its tightening again. 80% in, 50.7 to 49.3. And Jones isn't done yet.

[7,052,770]

Ugh, 4000 margin and some of Jones and Desoto still out there...

Unfortunately many outsiders don't care about a state's interest when getting involved in primary.

Daily Kos is saying that counties outstanding broke 51-49 for Cochran. I'm pretty sure he has this - what a pleasant surprise!

Every Democrat in this board not from MS would prefer to have McDaniel nominated than Cochran. To be honest, we don't care what happens to the state as long as it becomes easier for the Democrats to hold the Senate.

[Never]

AOS has it at 51.42% Cochran, 48.58% McDaniel.
