2012 Non-Presidential Primaries Thread (6/12 - AR runoff, ME, ND, NV, SC, VA)

Wow, early results are brutal for Tim Holden. He's losing by nearly 50 points.

Yes, I saw that.  Altmire seems to be doing well.

I hate Kane, but she's leading the last time I checked.

[J. J.]

Kane/Murphy will go down to the wire; SE PA is still mostly out.

[J. J.]

Holden is going down in PA-17.

[J. J.]

Neither the 12th nor the 17th have been called yet. Is everything expecting those to tighten towards the end?

PA-12 is at 36%, with Altmire up 24.

PA-17 is at 49%, with Holden down 24.

Critz can close it, but I think it is over for Holden.

[J. J.]

54% in and Kane is leading for AG.

PA-17 is at 49%, with Holden down 24.

Critz can close it, but I think it is over for Holden.

I can tolerate Critz/Altmire considering where they are.  As for Holden GOOD RIDDANCE!

That might end up as a GOP seat.

[J. J.]

67% in and Holden is down 14 points.

[J. J.]

At 59%, Kane is up by 8.  WOW!

[J. J.]

Critz just pulled ahead with 88% in in PA-12.

[J. J.]

Cartwright just declared in PA-17.

[J. J.]

PA-12 @90% C 51 A 49!

[J. J.]

Twitter reports that Altmire has conceded.

Critz has opened up to 4 points at 91% in.

[J. J.]

Called for Critz and Kane.

[J. J.]

The Kane margin is surprising.

Uh, no. You don't know about the GOP nominee, I see...

Cartwright's margin is surprising, too. Altmire-Critz was pretty much dead on.

Tea Party, I see.  I'm not sure about how bad that will be this year.  PA-12 is also a possibility.

I loathe Kane, but Murphy was probably a stronger candidate in the General

[J. J.]

WOW@the geographic polarization. Holden won only two counties, Carbon and Schuylkill. But he got 85.4% in Schuylkill. In Lackawanna he only got 225 and in Luzerne only about 28%.

Schuylkill obviously probably won't vote for Cartwright in the general election, but the Democrats usually don't win it anyway. Better question is if this woman is going to appeal to Scranton.

I don't know; something strange is happening.  Kane defeated the favorite, Murphy.  The "establishment" GOP candidate went down to Smith.  Is it still R +6?
