Is this the next Dewey defeats Truman?

According to Hotline, "Steve Laffey's campaign aides will be stunned if they lose." Hotline also quotes Laffey's team as saying they've "hit all their target numbers in every targeted precinct."



Which begs the question, what the **** were Laffey's target numbers?

62% of 515 Reporting
   LINCOLN CHAFEE    21,879    53%
   STEPHEN LAFFEY    19,099    47%

Is it too late for Laffey to close?

If this margin keeps up, I would consider it a fairly impressive winning margin for Chafee, all things considering.

I'm speechless. This is a huge victory for the NRSC, the 72 Hour Task Force and the GOP's hope of holding the Congress. This will hurt the "anti-incumbent" narrative that the media has been hyping.

Well, the fact that one of the last sane Republicans in the Senate got challenged in a close race (which isn't over yet), is fairly anti-incumbent, IMO.

Depends on where the votes are coming from...

Supposedly Cranston and Warwick will come in last, Laffey's strong areas.

Wasn't Chafee the mayor of Warwick? If so, Laffey's cooked.

If Chafee wins by 51%-49%, we're going to have to put out a missing person alert for Pat Toomey.

These results do not necessarily mean Laffey has already lost. It depends on which precincts haven't reported yet. Laffey could still win this.

From Sam Spade's last numbers Laffey would have to win the remaining precincts by just over 11 pionts (55.5% to 44.5%) in order to catch up.

 Cranston is Laffey's home base, Warwick is Chafee's.

It's OVER. Cranston already 1/5 in and Chafee's strongholds still aren't all in.

You should thank the NRSC for this.  Turnout is nearly 20,000 votes higher for this primary than any previous Republican primary in RI, and I have no doubt who helped Chafee's campaign increase the turnout by so much, because Chafee's campaign was really looking incompetant (Lieberman-style) earlier in this primary.

I am not saying that that will make November 7th great. I am just showing Walter that his "great day" will not reoccur.
