The closest race at the moment is the one no one has been talking about.
Allan Fung and Ken Block are locked in a dead heat. 2 vote diff with 6% reporting.
Allan Fung (Declared) - Mayor of Cranston Ken Block (Declared) - Founder and former head of the Rhode Island Moderate Party
Gina Raimondo (Declared) - State Treasurer appears to be winning the dem nomination.
In NH, Scott Brown has been declared the winner with 23% reporting against 9 other candidates. Bob Smith is coming in THIRD.
Frank Guinta and Melinda Garcia are taking the republican house nominations.
Big upset in Massachusetts, Seth Moulton has taken out sitting congressman James Tiernery in the dem primary for house district 6. He will now face Richard Tisei.
S. Moulton 49.6% 5,886 J. Tierney (i) 41.4% 4,914 M. DeFranco 6.1% 724 J. Devine 2.2% 259 J. Gutta 0.8% 93
Mass Dem Gov. 21% reporting M. Coakley 40.4% 47,719 S. Grossman 36.7% 43,307 D. Berwick 23.0% 27,125
Mass Rep Gov. 16% reporting C. Baker 75.9% 21,155 M. Fisher 24.1% 6,723
I’d rather have a Democrat being a Democrat than a Republican being a Democrat. Trojan horse Democrats in the GOP cause maximum damage that open Democrats cannot.
Yup. Baker is another ultraleftist Willardbot.
all things considered,
it would have probably been better for conservatives if Tierney got re=elected so that conservatives would have a shot at the seat in 2016. Now it is gone for over 20 years.
He is farther left than most Democrats and the state GOP went out of their way to try and keep Fisher off the ballot.
That’s because the bitch running the MA GOP is a Stalinist. Baker will probably try running to “Marcia” Coakley’s left in order to win in November. Disgusting.
Didn’t even realize there was a senator’s race in nextdoor Delaware this fall until tonight - some guy named Smirk or Smink or something won the ‘pub nomination to face the incumbent ‘rat Coombs in November - Coombs started out pretty far left but seems to have pulled in his horns some since getting into office - probably not much of a chance here for the ‘pubs......
the little honey Marilinda cleaned their clocks from Keene to Berlin.
Tierney’s defeat is definitely bad news for Republican prospects of winning the seat, this year and down the road, and therefore it’s nothing to celebrate, I don’t really care if the homo RINO (HINO? ROMO?) wins or not though.
Full primary roundup.
MA-6, John Tierney becomes the only rat incumbent to be denied renomination this year. Seth Moulton defeated him by the final margin of 49%-41%, (with the rest for minor candidates, but they didn’t take enough votes to save Tierney) a poll out yesterday showed Tierney up only 1 point, presaging this defeat.
Martha Coakley wins the rat nomination for Governor in vote that was closer than polls had indicated, 42%-36% over Steve Grossman. RINO Chaz Baker wins the GOP nod by a 3-1 margin over an unknown and poorly funded conservative.
MA-9, the GOP nomination has apparently gone to former Reagan aide John Chapman, the best funded GOP candidate. Outside chance of winning in November.
NH
In the Senate primary Scott Brown wins the GOP nod over unviable challengers Jim Ruebens and Bob “Kerry” Smith. The general election has closed, close to a tossup now.
Businessman Walt Havenstein wins the GOP nomination for Governor. The rat incumbent is expected to win easily
In CD 1 Frank Guinta wins a closer than expected contest with yeat another gay RINO, Dan Innis who snagged the endorsement of the Union Leader.
In CD 2, total hottie Marilinda Garcia easily wins the GOP nomination
Good shot at both Congressional seats.
RI
State General Treasurer Gina Raimondo runs away with the 3 way rat primary for Governor, winning 42% to Providence Mayor Angel Taveras’ 29%, Lincoln Chaffee endorsed rat scion Clay Pell got 27%. One scion endorsing another, interesting.
Cranston Mayor Allan Fung wins the GOP nod by 10 points over Ken Block. Competitive general election.
GOP has a weak candidate for Sec of State (open seat) and no candidate for General Treasurer. But a State Senator, Dawson Hodgson (quite a name), is the nominee against the rat AG. And a viable seeming woman named Catherine Taylor is the nominee for LT Governor (elected separately from Governor). GOP hasn’t won LT Governor since 1966, apparently, having only had a single appointed LT since then, Bernard Jackvony.
Delaware
ZZZZZZZZZZ
Weak 2012 nominee Kevin Wade wins the GOP Senate primary over any even more hapless fellow. Businessman Ken Simpler wins the GOP nod for Treasurer (open seat).
New York non-federal primary, waste of money having 2 separate primaries.
Cuomo easily wins renomination, 62%-34%, over weird named challenger Zephyr Teachout. His chosen running mate ex-Congresswoman
Kathy Hochul wins the primary for LT Governor by 20 points over Teachout’s running mate.
State Senate district 50, pro-gay and gay control RINO State Sen. Mark Grisanti is defeated by challenger Kevin Stocker, 53%-47%.
It’s a primary. A dem primary. It would be weird if the Dems didn’t win.
In NH the man is a business man. But the woman is a hottie?
Do you not see anything wrong with that classification? If that is how we are judging candidates, we are truly screwed.
Well except for the Ted Cruz-endorsed Marilinda Garcia race there wasn’t much of interest.
Do you not see anything wrong with that classification?
Honestly bud, no, I don't.
And that, Bud, is why we lose.
Ridiculous, give me a break.
“Yup. Baker is another ultraleftist Willardbot.”
Way too the left of Romney, a Weld Republican.
Grisanti’s NY state senate district is SD-60, not 50, and it’s a fustercluck. Yes, Kevin Stocker (presumably not the firmer Phillie shortstop) beat RINO Mark Grisanti in the GOP primary, but Grisanti will be on the general-election ballot on the Independence Party line. Moreover, not only will Stocker not have the Conservative Party line, a third candidate has it: one Tim Gallagher. And to add to our odds of losing what should be a safe GOP seat, Mark Panepinto, who already had the Working Families Party ballot line, narrowly won the Democrat nomination as well, so the ultraliberal vote won’t be split. I don’t know what the NY Conservative Party was thinking in nominating someone who didn’t even run for the GOP nomination, but I hope that the party and Tim Gallagher do the right thing and nominate Gallagher to an unwinnable race for a judgeship so that Stocker can get the Conservative Party line and have a better chance if election.
New Hampshire is a shell of its former self. The best the Republicans can do in the “live free or die” state is to nominate a failed RINO from Massachusetts? Scott Brown veered left the moment he got elected to the Senate and he will do the same if he gets elected in NH. it seems the carpetbaggers from MA have taken over that once proud state.
If he gets elected he’ll be a big improvement over the current occupant of the seat.
I didn’t like him running in NH either but no one else electable was interested in running. Smith or Reubens would have been curbstomped by Shaheen.
It would be pretty hard to run to Marcia’s left...one would circle around and end up on the right again.
Again, Baker sucks, I’ve always said that and I’ve always believed that. But I will vote for him in November vs. Coakley who is a complete Communist with the personality of a discarded oil filter.
Given the two choices, I’ll go with the lesser of two evils. Writing in Sarah Palin, Walt Disney, Fess Parker or Mauro Gomez’s irma will accomplish nothing.
Seth Moulton winning looks like the RATS keep that seat. The consternation about Tisei can cease now.
Scott Brown sucks too, but Sheheen is another Coakley - completely worthless.
You say “Frank Guinta”, I say “Joey Buttafuoco”.
The Latina is hot and should win.
RI is a bigger cluster**** then MA is.
Ping to #39.
