For those of us watching who don’t know which candidates are endoresed by the tea party, can you help us out?
Also Ellmers is ahead of Roche in 2nd CD, but only getting 56% has got to hurt. Clay Aiken looks to be Ellmers’ opponent in November.
In the Senate race, Tillis is the GOPe choice. Brannon is the Tea Party fave and one other that I forget. The trick was keep Tillis below 40% so that there would be a runoff.
Harris was the Tea Party choice, but Brannon was endorsed by Sen. Mike Lee and Rand Paul.

Only 55/56% precincts reporting. I won’t give up hope yet.
I’m in NC and can’t seem to determine which precincts have reported, and which have not. A 6% swing with 58% of precincts reporting is not impossible, but it’s doubtful if urban and eastern precincts are yet to report. Anti-establishment sentiment is typically more of a Piedmont and Western thing, and more rural and outer suburban than urban. Suburbs are a tossup and hinge upon relative prosperity or being stressed economically.
I remember Cucinelli’s collapse at the end of Virginia’s results.
It’s unforgivable if NC puts Tillis up against Hagan. He deserves to lose in the general.
Go to the link and select a county and it’ll give you the number of precincts
reporting. You may even be able to get more detailed, I don’t know.

Tillis needs 40% to avoid a runoff, right?
Itll sort itself out by morning, probably.
That’s right, 40% is Tillis’ magic number tonight.
Thanks. Just found the Live thread over in breaking news:

And it looks like he’s going to get it. This is a travesty. A victory for Karl Rove. It will only encourage his donors to help him destroy conservatives across the country.
F the GOPe
Cuccinelli set a very broad example. He brought in Ron Paul to try to court the fake-RAT Libertarian’s votes, instead of Ted or Sarah.
He’d be Gov. if he’d courted his base instead of Paul’s.
Tillis now down a bit to 44.7%
26% precincts reporting
We still have a shot maybe
That’s weird. When I posted it was 55% reporting. Now it is 25%.
Greg Bannon was the conservative, endorsed by Mark Levine....Tillis was backed by Karl Rove.
