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

Calling it for Thad.

I'm about ready to do the same thing, but it's still early.

Way too early to celebrate. I still reckon McDaniel wins it by 2-8 points.

[Alreet]

Politico just called the Maryland race for Brown.

[Alreet]

Its tightened even more.

50.7 Cochran
49.3 McDaniels

I reckon McDaniels closes the gap sadly.

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.

What the Christ?

It's not like us Republicans are electing black Republican senators as trophies or anything. Still, the GOP is looking pretty good with a 1/1 split in black senators with the Democrats, considering >90% of African-Americans consistently vote Democratic.

Um, it's that second statistic we kinda need work on.....

We got 20% of the young black male vote In 2012, so there that's a good sign of things to come.

Um, no.

Why is it not :confused:

Let me answer your question with a question: Can you provide a link to your shocking and universally disagreed with premise that one in 5 "young black men" voted for Romney over Obama?

Unless that poll was taken at the Black College Republicans convention, I don't buy it.

As I'm not over 20 posts yet I cannot link you, but Romney won 19% of black males under 29 according to exit polls. Google it please.

Am I the only one who is familiar with Kingston from Maher and really wanted him to win?

Yes, and that's why I wanted him to win, too: I know he's got the crazy deep down in him somewhere.

Kingston seemed like a really good natured guy on Maher. Didn't see much evidence of crazy if I'm going to be honest.

[Alreet]

Politico calls the senate race for Perdue, who is leading Kingston 50.7 to 49.3 at 93% in!

I was rooting for Kingston, but Perdue is a good nominee nonetheless.

Pompeo looks like he'll be winning his seat. Surprisingly, Huelskamp is in more trouble. Who is LaPolice anyway?

Pro-compromise Republican with no prior political experience. Served in Desert Storm then did something in public education.
