I didn't see a live thread started, so I figured I'd go ahead and post one.
A big primary day. I believe it's 12 states including the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Thank you! I’ve been surfing for an hour just trying to find some info and here you are! Thanks!
Big day in CA. Not much choice for Governor but looking good to crush a box-er-two.
Thanks for posting this thread!
Wen’t to vote a little while ago....(South Carolina Primaries).From what I could see there was pretty good turnout...Not Heavy...but this of course is before lunch.....
Arkansas has Sen. Blanche Lincoln facing Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, a strong contender supported by SEIU.
Halter seems to have eeked out a poll lead of about 3%.
California
Nevada
Virginia
South Carolina
Who else?
How is Nikki faring?
Also....maybe you could briefly explain to the SC challenged how Sen’s Graham and DeMint were elected in the same state?
Ping

Have at it. I can’t find one!! Probably looking in the wrong place.
Arkansas
Wonderful, thanks for the thread.
OK. Found one. Hope it’s all inclusive:
California
Arkansas
Iowa
Maine
Montana
Nevada
New Jersey
South Carolina
South Dakota
North Dakota
Virginia
According to the most recent poll I read was Niki is still ahead with 43% ...Gresham Barrett 23%.......McMaster 16%....Bauer 12%..... The Poll said at least half the people polled didn’t believe the allegations against Haley....I have yet to find anyone that does believe the allegations....
As for how our state can have a wonderfull Sen. like DeMint and Graham....well....
Part is Good old boy politics...then the fact Graham had lots of money to spend....But as to how he could get elected...The Upstate part of SC is heavy Republican...(Greenville/Spartanburg) 4th Congressional District where DeMint served before becoming a Congressman.....
Near the Coast (Charleston) is far more Democrat....
Not to worry..I have faith the Good People of SC will get rid of Graham(Nesty) next time!!
Does anyone have recommendations on the down-ticket races in California. Specifically, I wanted to find out who is considered to be the strongest candidate to beat Maldonado in the Lt. Gov. race.
SC has been a little schizo in the past. Ernest “Fritz” Hollings and Strom Thurmond served simultaneously.
In the Graham, DeMint case, I believe voters THOUGHT that Lindsey Graham was a conservative, but remember his claim to fame was his leading role in Clinton’s impeachment. He was elected off the back of THAT strong impression he left on the people.
DeMint was a House Member and clearly conservative when he was elected. By that time, Lindsey was showing his true colors.
If an election were held today whether to approve their continued service, it would be interesting to see the outcome.
