2016 Congressional Primaries

It means little more than engagement and enthusiasm but I'm sure Heisenberg and TnVolunteer will be delighted to know the GOP is crushing the dems in turnout

Even they know primary turnout doesn't mean anything.

Only the Govrenors primary and some other local races were contested for the Democrats so that is to be expected.

That's not exactly surprising though,  the Dem side really only had 1 kinda-sorta competitive race, and it wasn't all that advertised in the state.

The GOP has had advertisements going left and right over this primary, and apparently for good reason.

When I went to vote at the high school there were literally 10x6ft signs for Guinta, Gatsas, Carson (s. senator), and Sununu, along with dozens of other smaller signs with a horde of volunteers.    The Dem side had a few small Maggie Hassan signs and one or two Hillary signs.

I know primary turnout means nothing but to hear some on hear tell it you would think New Hampshire was going to vote to the left of dc

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

81% in, Guinta up by more than 2%. This is over.

Yeah he probably loses this by 20%+

[The Other Castro]

Guinta has won the primary.

Edit: At least according to Dave Wasserman from Cook Political Report.

[Maxwell]

sup Blanche Guinta.

[Nyvin]

Guinta has won the primary.

D+1,  yay!

[Heisenberg]

Guinta has won the primary.

It's Blanching time.

[Pandaguineapig]

If there's any upside Guinta will probably be in prison by 2018 so the republicans can find a better recruit against shea-porter

You mean one who will lose by single digits instead of by double digits LOL?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Nice to know that Florida Democrats are smarter than New Hampshire Republicans.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Chris Sununu looks to have won the Govrenors nomination, he is up 31-29 (~1000 votes ) with 80% in

Yes New Hampshire will vote to the left of Maryland by 2018😏

But there's still a lot left in both Hillsborough and Cheshire, both areas Edelblut is doing really good in.

Rockingham, where Sununu is Executive Councilor in, is almost done.

Edelblut can actually come back from this.

Granted - I think Sununu is favored to win.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Ashooh is closing the gap, but there may not be enough votes left.

[Heisenberg]

Nice to know that Florida Democrats are smarter than New Hampshire Republicans.

The Republican Party of East Vermont is basically hopeless for statewide and congressional races, so they kind of get a pass.

[The Other Castro]

DDHQ also says Guinta is going to win.

@JamesPindell: Geez.. @KellyAyotte gets nominated and there is fire now in the building where she has her official Senate office in Manchester. #nhpolitics

Let me know when the republicans have a majority in Vermont house, senate, and executive council 😊

Climbing Maggie strikes again.

I think Hogan would have a much better chance of winning reelection than Sununu in 2018, especially if the Democrats nominate Stefany Shaheen. He could maybe beat another male in 2018, but he'd be gone for sure after 2020.

As an incumbent in a small state with declining stature he probably controls his fate in a midterm unless it's a wave with a president trump, then shaheen or any other democrat could beat him

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Sununu ahead 1200 votes with 89% in. Guinta ahead 400 votes with 93% in.

Vermont has no Executive Council. Also, Republicans have controlled the Vermont House and Senate more recently than you think: they controlled both chambers from time immemorial through to 1984, when for the first time ever Democrats took the Vermont Senate, and flipped the Vermont House in 1986. Since then, Republicans regained the Vermont Senate 1992-1996, and the Vermont House 2000-2004.

Republicans also haven't fallen as far as you think: the Vermont House today does not have as large of a Democratic majority as it did during the 1990s (though of course it did have a larger one 2006-2014, and the Vermont Senate has become very, very, very safely Democratic), and in fact in a good year with a strong Republican at the top of the ticket (...if Scott had run against Shumlin in 2014, for instance) the House is probably still capable of flipping; Scott Milne carried a (decently large) majority of Vermont state House districts against Shumlin even as he lost statewide by 1.4%. Of course his attempt to use this to get the House to elect him Governor over Shumlin was unsuccessful

[Nyvin]

Guinta still ahead by about 500 votes,  with 95.6% in.    I think he has it.
