OP updated for the next election.

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

I'm really hearing nothing but confidence from the Gomez camp - the person I know has actually left the campaign and is working on stuff in the South rn.

Usually someone leaving a campaign is a bad sign...

SC-5 internal poll for Archie Parnell has him down 10 to Ralph Norman.

It really depends. This is not one of those situations.

It won't surprise me if Archie Parnell matches the 44% showing Obama got in this seat in '12, but it would be a shock if he gets notably closer than that.

Great news, DCCC putting some money ($275,000) in SC-5 for Parnell.

I've been talking to some people there, and they wouldn't have put this money in unless their internals had tightened, or if the GOP is spending money as well.

Even if I don't like him, having a dem in rural white south would be nice.

Sadly, I don't see how he could win. It would be quite a good performance if he could lose by single digits

I have no expectations of him winning or coming that close, but a closer race would be good.

Another good results page if anybody's wondering.

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

Gah this vote count is depressingly slow.

[Holmes]

The early vote in the jungle was pretty Ahn-leaning. Gomez should have this.

[DrScholl]

If I had to guess, there won't be a vote dump until around 1 am EST. The votes have to be driven into the county elections office in Norwalk, which is almost to the Orange County line. Los Angeles County is always slow in part to that.

Anh's a ConservaDem, no?

Anh's a ConservaDem, no?

He used to be a republican, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a conservadem. Here are two other former republicans:
