Highest vote total wins here in Indiana, so no runoff.

Polls close in NC as turnout disappoints; candidates await results for Senate, Congress

The most exciting race on my ballot was a county commission primary. Egads, hard to blame people.

Hmm...

Looks like we will get good nominees against Shuler and Kissell. No way D'Annunzio wins a runoff, and Jeff Miller has really good potential to win.

thanks

I agree... Young looks very good. I couldn’t find a position on immigration on his website but he seems to be very good on fiscal issues & national security.

Do we think that Fisher or Brunner will be a stronger Demo Senate candidate in OH? Looks like Fisher has a decent sized lead. Though if I am reading correctly, Rob Portman got more votes as an unopposed candidate on the Republican side than the Dems got combined in their primary. Looks like a good sign.

[Bronzy]

He is giving his winner’s speech now.

[MitchellC]

I sure hope D’Annunzio can’t win the run-off. The best thing Johnson could do is ask for a one-on-one debate and let D’Annunzio expose himself, but have you seen all the advertising D’Annunzio has been doing? He even had airplane banners flying the last few weeks.

Huddleston is a bust, as I’d suspected he’d be. I think he realized where he was (or wasn’t) and at the end, as the party guy, threw himself at D’Annunzio to alert everyone to what a nut that guy is.

Miller is good in terms of his background story, I hope he can avoid a run-off.

turnout in my county (Orange) was pathetic <15%

it was more pathetic for big DEM areas which I guess is some solace
