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

The tea party is officially dead. You can't win a MISSISSIPPI runoff against a moderate republican? LOL

Please. Most GOP Congresscritters, including most red state senators, are far more scared of a tea party challenge than a Democratic one. Their voting records and unwillingness to compromise now matching the True Believers is the result. The Tea Party (and their de facto allies in the CfG wing of the party) have made for of the GOP caucus TPIABN--Tea Party In All But Name.

Chuckling out loud at the description of Cochran as "a moderate". He's an arch-conservative in all but a patrician reserved non-fire breathing style (the last work being key), and addiction to greater than usual fondness for local pork spending.

Also, I think the fact that a Tea Party candidate beat a 36-year, entrenched Senator who has brought so much to the state in the primary and fell short to him in the runoff only because of liberal voters says a lot more about the strength of the Tea Party than the fact that McDaniel (probably) lost in the end.

How the hell did the fake Obama phone call ad not seal the deal for Kingston?

Why is the KS Democratic Senate primary so close? Imagine if Wiesner and Wolf both won. That would be awful!

[NHLiberal]

I still want to know why the Kansas Senate Democratic primary was so close. I didn't even know there was a second candidate, let alone that he was viable.

I'm not sure if anybody noticed this yet, but William Bryk is running for Senate in both Alaska and Wyoming. He's a New York transplant.

It will be interesting to see which state gives him a higher percentage of the vote

Predictions

NH: Innis and Garcia win.

MA: Tierney holds on.

Any particular reason for this? He's considered a major underdog and his polling is abysmal.
