Today more Americans are able to vote than any other day this primary season, in fact this number of voters won’t go to the polls again until November. Eight states are voting today including Mississippi, Iowa, California, New Jersey, South Dakota, Montana, Alabama, and New Mexico....

Zinke wins in Montana with a third of the vote, Stapelton and Rosendale neck and neck for 2nd place. All states should have runoffs.
my candidates had a rough night.
IA=3 goes to convention, stopped Zaun. I call that a victory.
ALABAMA. Palmer makes runoff. Victory.
Montana. Zinke wins. Defeat.
CALI. Fareed loses by 1%
Gooch loses by 1%
It appears that Hinds and Rankin will be the determinates as to a runoff or not.
It doesn't show the # of precincts not reporting just a percentage.
Hinds: 96.6% reporting T. Cochran 66.4% 10,327 C. McDaniel 33.1% 5,147 T. Carey 0.6% 86 Rankin: 98% reporting T. Cochran 50.0% 11,900 C. McDaniel 49.0% 11,659 T. Carey 1.0% 249 Jefferson: 87.5% Reporting T. Cochran 55.3% 121 C. McDaniel 43.4% 95 T. Carey 1.4% 3

Gary Palmer would be a significant upgrade in AL-06. It’s a safe seat and a real conservative could be a leader in Washington.
I hope that this race serves as a lesson to the national tea party to not throw local conservatives under the bus. Chad Mathis ran a disgraceful race on national money centered on slinging mud at locals who had been doing the heavy lifting in the conservative movement for years. These guys were as far from liberals or RINO’s as you can get, but apparently his DC consultant only sells a one size fits all “all my opponents are closet libs” campaign package.

thanks. we had some discussion there of AL06. Hopeful Palmer can make it close in the runoff.
Chris McDaniel Runoff 49.5% 155,040 Thad Cochran Runoff 49.0% 153,654 Thomas Carey 1.5% 4,789
The runoff will probably have lower participation than the original race. I would think McD is favored in a runoff, unless Thad has a rabbit he can pull out of his suit.
Post-Election and Primary Runoff Information
Delbert Hosemann
Secretary of State
Process for Certifying Election Results in a Party Primary:
All primary elections in the State of Mississippi are run by the respective state parties. State law requires the transmittal of certified election results to the State Party Executive Committees of the Democratic and Republican Parties. The State Party Executive Committees compile the certified results from each county and certify their election results. The Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office does not certify the results of a Primary Election. The certification is performed by the State Party Executive Committees. The State Executive Committees have ten (10) days from the date of the election (June 13, 2014) to submit certified results to the Secretary of State’s Office. The Secretary of State’s Office accepts the certified results by the State Executive Committees on behalf of the State of Mississippi. (Miss. Code Ann §23-15-599)

Post Election Notes:
If there is a Primary Runoff Election:
I also forgot his pechant for hating the military and veterans.
Unfortunately the weasel won the selection.
And I’m talking about clyde chambliss.
Absolutely disgusting how he hid behind his wife and kids instead of talking about the issues, took sole credit for things that he was but one member of a committee, and painted himself as some second coming of Reagan.
I’d really like to know who bankrolled the dirtball because no way could he ever have enough money to run all those TV ads for several weeks on all those channels running up to the primary.
It’s heartening to see that voters didn’t fall for Mathis’s lies.
Complete California breakdown
In the race for Controller (I’ve been mistakingly saying Comptroller like the NY times results page has it down) it appears that a rat has come in second by only 2000 votes.
Ashley Swearengin Rep. 724,511 24.4%
John A. Perez Dem. 642,537 21.7
David Evans Rep. 640,498 21.6
Betty T. Yee Dem. 636,691 21.5
So many surplus votes for Swearengin. Sigh. As Fieldmarshalj speculates an R/R runoff for a statewide race would probably see the rats jump to abolish this top/2 primary thing.
Still, this race appears to be Cali Republicans best chance to win a statewide office.
Congressional Races of interest
CD 3, 43% Romney in 2012, rat incumbent Garamendi reelected with 54% in 2012, Only 1 Republican ran, Dan Logue, Garamendi placed first by about 9 points. Louge appears to have raised the same amount of money as the rat so far.
CD 4 Safe Republican Seat, it appears that McClintock will face fellow Republican Art Moore, who is less than 2 K votes ahead of an indie. Moore is running as an “outsider”, standard campaign speel. His campaign is run by a former Ah-nold guy. Fail. Go Tom.
CD 7, 47% Romney, Freshman Rat Ami Bera (a dude, not a chick) beat incumbent Dan Lungren 51-49 in 2012. RINO(ish?) Ex-Rep Doug Ose will unfortunately be his foe. Bera got 47% and all Republicans combined got just over 50%.
CD 9, 40% Romney. Rat inc McNerney was reelected 54-46 last time. He got just over 50% in the primary, Republicans combined got the balance. Sadly our nominee has almost no money.
CD 10, 47% Romney, GOP Inc Jeff Denham got 57%. Doesn’t look vulnerable.
CD 16, Just 39% Romney, but last time rat Rep. Costa won by only 9 points over an Anglo-named Republican. This time he faces a Republican named Johnny Tacherra. He got under 44% of the primary vote, another rat got 4%. Republicans combined won the majority. Johnny needs Jack (as in money).
CD 17, Safe rat seat, Rat inc Honda faces a fellow rat, some Obama flunky. Go Honda?
CD 21, Romney vote was 43.5% down from 46% for McCain, still Freshman Republican David Valdao won 3 to 2 over a weak rat. This time the rats have a stronger candidate and smell blood. But Valadao cleaned up with 64% of the primary vote.
CD 24, 43% Romney, Rat Rep. Capps was won by 10 points over RINO Abel Maldanado last time. She got 44.5% of the primary vote, rats combined got a slight majority. Her GOP foe is Chris Mitchum, actor Robert Mitchum’s son. He raised about 100K and spent it all. Justin Fareed, a former aide to Kentucky Rep. Ed Whitfield would have been a much more electable choice.
CD 25, Open Republican seat, Romney won it with just under 50%. Former GOP State Sen (and failed nominee in 2012 in CD 26) Tony Strickland will face GOP State Sen Steve Knight, possible low chance target taken off the board for the rats. I think both are fine. I’m kinda disappointed Strickland didn’t seek a rematch in CD 26 instead of jumping in here.
CD 26, 44% Romney, Rat Freshman Julia Brownley beat Strickland 52-48, you could have won this rematch, Tony. Julia got 46%. GOP Combined got 52%. She faces State Rep. Jeff Gorell who seems like a good enough candidate. She has a big warchest though.
CD 31, Open R seat, Only 40.6% Romney. A Republican placed first but it looks like an Hispanic rat beat out another Republican for 2nd. Paul Chabot (R) will be a decided underdog if that holds up. Darn. Rats Combined won with 53%.
CD 33, Open rat seat of Waxman, 37% Romney, out of range. Republican Elan Carr placed first with 21.5%, GOP Combined got only 31%. Pete’s pal “moderate” rat Matt Miller places 4th.
CD 36, 47.5% Romney, Freshman rat Raul Ruiz beat RINO Rep. Mary Bono by 3 points. This time he faces GOP Assemblyman Brian Nestande. Ruiz won the primary with 50.2%, GOP combined got the rest. Ruiz has a crapload of money.
CA 41, Just 36% Romney, less than the Waxman seat but this is actually more competitive, Rat Freshman Mark Takano won by 13 points last time. GOP combined got 44.4% in this primary. A major longshot.
CD 45, Open Safe GOP seat. GOP State Sen. Mimi Walters faces a rat rather than a fellow Republican.
CD 46, Ole Loretta Sanchez is a windmill to to tilt at, major Longshot.
CD 52, 46% Romney. Freshman Rat Scott Peters “beat” incumbent Brian Bilbray by a tiny margin. Peters got just 42% of the primary vote, GOP combined got the rest. Popular Gay RINO Carl DeMaio is the nominee. I’d vote for him, being a rat is gayer than being gay if you ask me, but I know most of you either don’t care at all or hope he loses and I’m respect that.
My hope is to gain at least 2 to makeup for the likely loss of CD 31.
Good recap, thank you. A few thoughts:
In the heavily GOP CA-04, a RAT had filed to run, but dropped out right before the filing deadline for “health reasons”; conservative stalwart Tom McClintock speculated that it was a ploy to try to help the less conservative Republican newcomer Art Moore make the runoff and try to win with Democrat votes and some Republican votes (kind of a reverse campaignPete strategy;if it was planned, smart move for the Democrats, since no one with a D next to his name could beat McClintock one-on-one). As Impy said, the Arnold-lackey-backed Moore appears to have eked by the impecunious indie (who would have been clobbered in the runoff, since he refuses to raise money and besides would not be able to take many GOP votes) and will try to beat McClintock by winning the Dem and indie vote as well as that of RINOs and uninformed Republicans. Fortunately, McClintock got like 55% in the jungle primary, so it looks like most Republicans aren’t being fooled.
CA-07 was very disappointing; Igor Birman is a solid conservative who would have had a good chance of unseating Bera. Ose is pro-abortion a d voted that way in Congress when he served in the early 2000s, and the rest of his voting record iwasn’t much better. Still, a 50%-70% conservative is better than a 5%-7% conservative, so Zi hope that Ose wins and we can go get him in 2016.
In CA-16, as in much of the Central Valley (particularly FOP Congressman Valadao’s CA-21), the 2012 Obama vote overstates the Dem lean of the area (there was larger than usual Hispanic turnout, and it largely rejected Romney). There are a lot of Portuguese (mostly Azoreans) there as well as Hispanics, and Congressman Costa is of Portuguese descent, as is Republican challenger Johnny Tachera (who, like Valadao and former Central Valley GOP Congressman Pombo, is of Azorean descent; I suspect that “Tachera” is an alternate spelling for “Teixeira”). Republican candidates outpolled Democrats by 51%-47%, and this should be a very competitive general election.
We came thisclose to gaming the system for the second time in a row in CA-31. The Hispanic-majority CD has a strong Dem lean, but we managed to get two Republicans into the runoff in 2012 thanks to 4 or 5 Dems splitting the primary vote. This time, we would have done it again had there not been a third Republican on the ballot. As it is, it’s a likely Dem takeover.
In CA-52, Sicko DeMaio made the runoff. Yes, he’s better than the RAT. No, I don’t really care if he wins or loses. I have no problem supporting an openly gay Republican, but not one who is pro-abortion and who wants to impose same-sex marriage.
David Valadao is a fop? ;?
Indeed it’s unfortunate that RINO Ose, Mitchum (because Fareed is more electable) and major social liberal Carla DeMaio advanced to the runoff. I’d like to see Birman run again, whether Ose wins or loses. DeMaio could have been beaten by a more prominent conservative, but none ran, unfortunately. 58% Republican in the primary, that’s the most by far for any of these targeted rat seats, part of DeMaio’s vote was probably non-Republican crossover.
Moore will be interesting to watch, if he tries too overtly to go after rat votes McC can paint him as the defacto rat nominee.
Looks like 3, 7, 16, 26, 36 and 52 are chances at a pickup while 9 and 24 probably aren’t, due to their rat leans and the financial non-competitiveness of the Republican candidates.
Definitely want to see Birman run again. Solid guy, as opposed to state GOPe hack Ose, who I predict will lose.
(Of note: Looks like both Barry Loudermilk and Bob Johnson (Tea Party guys) are set to advance to Georgia runoffs in their districts, perhaps we get two new good guys there)
tell us why Buddy Carter is unacceptable.
Thanks for the information.
it is helpful.
Thanks. It will be interesting if more anti-Obama voters show up in November than did in 2012. They are there, they just need to be motivated to vote.
He wouldn’t be unacceptable. He would actually be a big improvement on Kingston, but the pharmacy bill he voted for seems like a crony deal. I could be wrong.
