There are already a couple of LIVE THREADS covering the overall PA primary election. But I don't see anything out there for the Arkansas, Kentucky and Oregon folks so we are going to post our normal live thread focusing on the Key House Races. In this weeks Primary Elections we see 2 competitive House Races in AR and 9 in PA. Plus there is the Special Election in PA-12 that we have been following. There is nothing looking very competitive to us in OR or KY.
So if you are just interested in how things are going across the board in PA here are the ongoing PA LIVE THREADS"

low to moderate in Philly also.
O’bummer may not be able to get Dems to vote in Nov. The magic’s gone...
Sestak has pulled back even with some of the rest of the state reporting. But all of Phila. may not have reported.
Philly usually has 110% turnout.
Toomey declared the winner on Fox website
Yes. That would be a sweet evening.
Sleestak will beat Toomey. He can run as a moderate military man and get away with it.
Specter has no enthusiastic support and is all but unelectable in the general.
Go Specter.
“I keep on wanting to call Sestak.. slestack. Land of the Lost People???? lol”
See my post #59 above...
“Sleestak-Send Another Hissing Lizard To The Land Of The Lost!”(a.k.a. Washington)
It would be a great anti-Dem campaign theme...
Oh funny. Completely missed it. thanks.
you can do it arlen go go go!
PA
Sestak up by 12,000 at 51.7%
We’re all rooting for Arlen for the very same reason.
It’s a district that sent Murtha to Congress for decades. Plus there is a contentious primary between Specter and Sestak bringing out the hard core Demorcrat activists. Those people won’t vote Republican. Republicans have a smooth primary with an easy win for Toomey.
I’d like to win the district but partisan voting habits are hard to break.
My interest is whether Specter is the candidate. Selfishly I want him to be the candidate and have that Toomey/Specter showdown he backed down from.
I understand that former military persons move to Pennsylvania because they don’t have to pay taxes on their retirement income. They pay no state income tax.
Wouldn’t that hurt Sestak in November?
Please add me to your ping list. Thanks.
Be careful what you wish for. The fraud machine is huge here and I think it will grow even bigger before Nov.
Can't seem to find anyone interested in stopping it, sigh :(
How much love for Arlen by Randell who runs the Philly machine? This is Arlen’s visit to the toll booth.
Pray for America
Almost all of us want that showdown.
I think the race is tied now. UGH.
SPECTER, ARLEN (DEM)
169,311 48.4%
Thank you, FRiend!
