CPRM, Pt 3: LA 11/6

WOAH. CMR only beating the Democrat by 0.4 in WA-05...

FOR GOD'S SAKE

STOP WITH THE PRIMARY TURNOUT OBSESSION

ESPECIALLY IN SEATS WITH INCUMBENTS

The CA/WA top-two, high-turnout primaries are actually useful as a sort of large scale "poll" when you add up the Dem and Repub votes.  Certainly things can change by election day, but it's information worth paying attention to.

The fact of the matter is that women, and in particular women of color (depending on the state/district) are the backbone of the Democratic Party.  Especially given the fact that Republicans are failing horribly in doing their part to achieve gender parity in Congress, constituents are looking to the Democratic Party to create a Congress that actually looks like America.

BTW, even after tonight, 5 or 6 out of 9 members of MA House delegation will be white men.  I would've liked to see Lynch replaced over Capuano, but oh well.
