Lt. Col WINS!!
73% of the vote.
WOW! NOW THAT’S A WIN!
Congrats Colonel!
What about that idiot on the Dem side, Alan Grayson. Wasn’t he trying to get back in a new district?
WOO-HOO!!! :-)
Only 6% of precincts counted in her district, but Bachmann is getting 85% of the GOP vote, and more than double the votes of the Dem nominee.
With 5% counted, Hodve and Thompson each have nearly 13,000 votes, and Neumann has 10,000
Hovde 32 Thompson 27 Neumann 23 Fitzgerald 18
Some geographic trends emerging, with TT leading many of the smaller counties in the south and west, Hovde in Central/Northeast.
A couple results from Minnesota
In the 1st district of 3 term rat Tim Walz, the more conservative challenger Allen Quist won the GOP primary (the convention had been deadlocked and did not endorse as is typical in MN).
In the 8th, home of freshman giant killing Republican Chip “Double A” Cravaack the winner of the rat primary was convention endorsed former Congressman Rick Nolan. And when I saw his name I was like ???????????? why have I never heard of this guy and it’s cause he served in the friggin 70’s. He’s a damn watergate baby who won the 6th district in 1974 and retired in 1980. Jeez. He beat a state senator who’s been the rat nominee against Bachmann.
So clearly part of the old 6th district is now in the 8th. The partisan lean is the same, 45% for McLame to 53% for Oloser in 2008.
Nolan doesn’t seem like a great candidate.
