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

[Never]

Tancredo is conceding.

He didn't seem that optimistic coming about his chances coming into this election.

[Miles]

And Beauprez gets the AP check.

[Maxwell]

CO GOP nominated a birther. Wonderful. I was hoping for a frustrated voter rise in Kopp's numbers, though I have to say his performance is pretty strong.

[Miles]

MD-AG (Dem) called for Frosh, who beats Cardin.

[TJ in Oregon]

What's with Tancredo leading in suburban the Denver counties? I would have thought that's where the more moderate Republicans would be?

[Miles]

^ Yeah, odd, but he represented CD6; it took in more of the western/southern Denver suburbs when he held it.

[Tender Branson]

My predictions:

CO: 34% Beauprez, 31% Tancredo, 24% Gessler, 11% Kopp

MD-D: 52% Brown, 30% Gansler, 15% Mizeur, 3% Others
MD-R: 68% Hogan, 32% Others

Actual results:

CO: 30% Beauprez, 27% Tancredo, 23% Gessler, 20% Kopp

MD-D: 51% Brown, 24% Gansler, 22% Mizeur, 3% Others

Baeuprez is a birther??

I think that in Colorado, a lot of those moderate Republicans aren't Republicans anymore.

Yep, he even said about Obama "if he IS an American, different kind of American than anyone else I know"

And this was the "sane Establishment" candidate?!?! Jesus f***ing Christ, Colorado GOP, get it together!

They also nominated crazy Tea Partiers for 2 swing districts in the state Senate held by Democrats. It's a shame really (not for me of course I'm glad they did, but for them), because there definitely has been blowback against Dems over gun control and the GOP had a big chance to capitalize on that by taking the Senate, and maybe even the House and Governorship, but they blew it. Also worth mentioning is that Beauprez was the nominee in 2006 as well and lost by 17 to Bill Ritter.

Comparison to 2006 is faulty, Ritter only won by so much that year because it was an EXCELLENT year for democrats, in fact it was so good that the democrats almost won the TN senate race, remember? Hickenlooper won by a wide margin in 2010, but that was only because the republican vote was split between Former Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo, who was running under the consitution party banner, and the actual republican nominee, Buisnessman Dan Maes. Add up the republican vote and the hickenlooper margin goes to 51.01-47.56 (as opposed to 51.01-36.43-11.13), which means that a strong, moderate nominee capable of winning a few more votes would defeated Hickenlooper (Tancredo and Maes are both weak, and the former definitely isn't moderate, I don't know about the latter).

Now, is Beauprez described by the words 'strong and moderate'. Well, definitely not the latter, we'll have to see about the former. In the end, I do believe Hickenlooper will win, however we should understand that the best possible realistic margin for Hickenlooper is the high single digits, and this gubernatorial race should definitely be a target for republicans, and if Gardner starts consistently leading Udall by 3,4 points in the senate race, Hickenlooper might just find himself losing by the slimmest of margins.

My prediction for KS:

63% Sam Browncrook
37% Jennifer Winn

[tmthforu94]

My guess is Brownback gets just under 70%, lets say 68-32.

Kobach wins by a similar margin, and Gossage narrowly edges out Shultz and Selzer in the Insurance Commissioner race.

Do you think that SurveyUSA poll was off by that much? they had the primary at 55-37 Brownback.

Their last poll was 60-30.

[kcguy]

The local ABC/CW affiliate has called it for Brownback.  He's currently up 61-39.

[tmthforu94]

Ken Selzer has won the GOP Insurance Commissioner race.

A bit disappointed Beverly didn't win, but happy with Morgan's showing. Hopefully tonight is a wake-up call for some of the folks in Topeka.
