fLORIDA and AZ.
other than McKane, other races?
Bubbles Roofio got his renomination. Too bad. Hopefully McQueeg goes down in flames.
Primary recap and analysis
While some polls showed a competitive race, as I first suspected, Ward simply wasn’t a strong enough candidate to beat McCain, and she didn’t seem to be running a very good race. Note though the total McCain vote was only 52% (39% Ward) a SINGLE stronger candidate with some name ID running a strong race would likely have won.
Other AZ races
In CD 1 (Competetive open rat seat of Kilpatrick)
The HOMO Sheriff Paul Babeu won the GOP nomination with less than a third of the vote, this disappoints me. This seat is one our best pickup opportunities. Hard to get excited about a sodomite.
In CD 2
The rats nominated a homo to run against Martha McSally (R)
In CD 5 (Open GOP Seat)
The primary was won by former Godaddy.com CEO Christine Jones.
FL
My prediction was Rubio 70%, Other Guy 20%. Actual Result Rubio 72%, Other Guy 18.5%.
That was never a race, and that other guy is probably less conservative than Rubio anyway.
On the rat side Alan Grayson’s numbers tanked after his recent...wife beating news? or whatever it was. He almost fell to third place. He is refusing to support Patrick Murphy.
More GOP votes cast in the Senate primary than rat.
A lot of House Primaries in FL to mention
In CD 1 (Open Safe GOP)
The primary was won by State Rep. Matt Gaetz (pronounced Gats? Gates? Goats?) who agreed with a local sheriff who called BLM terrorists, sounds good.
In CD 2 (Open redraw rat seat that is a sure GOP gain)
The primary was won by Dr. Neal Dunn.
In CD 4 (Open Safe GOP seat)
The primary was won by Former Duval County Sheriff John Rutherford
In CD 5 (Redrawn Safe Rat Seat)
Incumbent rat Corrine Brown lost, as expected
In CD 9 (Grayson’s open seat, D but a little less so than before)
A Hispanic State Senator won the rat nomination, Grayson’s new wife came in third. Our guy had no money and no chance.
IN CD 11 (Open Safe GOP Seat)
Congressman Dan Webster who’s own CD 10 was redrawn to be out of reach for a Republican (worse than CD 9) easily won the GOP primary
In CD 18 (Murphy’s Open Seat, Narrowly went for Romney)
Disabled Vet Brian Mast (who allegedly had no idea he even had a chance until 2 weeks ago when his opponents started focusing attacks on him) won the primary over Rebecca Negron. This is one of our best pickup opportuniites.. Mast raised over a million. The rat nearly 4 million.
In CD 19 (Open Safe R)
Former US Ambassador to the Vatican Francis Rooney easily won the GOP primary. He’s a Bush dude. He is NOT related to other FL Rooney from the family that owns the Steelers. Porter Goss’s son was a distant second and Dan Bongino who oddly carpetbagged in from MD but might have been my choice, was third.
IN CD 23 (rat)
Debbie WS easily beat the rich Berner who opposed her. He attacked her in his concession speech “I concede she’s a corporate stooge”. LOL.
In CD 26 (Competitive seat redrawn to be more rat)
Scandal plague Former Rep Joe Garcia beat the woman that rats wanted to be the nominee against RINO Carlos Curbelo, setting up a rematch. Good news for Curbelo.
