Specter Wins 51-49 Republican Senatorial Primary: live thread
4/27/2004 | self

Posted on 04/27/2004 9:10:16 AM PDT by rudy45

My apologies if a thread already exists. I did a search on "Toomey" and found nothing.

I arrived at my polling area (suburban Philadelphia) at 6:45 am to hand out palm cards. The weather is terrific this morning, but turnout (I thought) was light (I had to leave at 9:15, but will be back).

Actually, I have a good feeling about Pat.

wow, that was painful. Anyone else just a litttle bit conflicted about Toomey winning?...Or am I not allowed to ask such a question?:)

Conflicted? Why? This is justice delayed for Specter's betrayal of Reagan with his Bork treachery. Better a RAT than Specter. Oh wait...he IS a RAT!

If Philly is largely uncounted, then (unfortunately) Specter will win.

Blame it on Bucks County. I think their website still has Specter up by 90,000.

Yep- way too soon. Actually, with 89% in, it doesn't look too good, no matter where the uncounted votes are.

Regardless whether the Republican, Toomey, or the Democrat, Specter wins, there will be a recount demanded for sure. Looks like they may both end up with 50% a piece, but one with just a few more popular votes than the other one. Hmmmmmmm.....

Recount?

With 11% of precincts not yet reporting, Toomey Campaign Manager Mark Dion said it was too early to start talking about a recount. "I'm hoping it won't be this margin."
