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"

He can’t. Sore loser law. (how many times has this been mentioned this evening?)
We will win that seat in Nov.

“I am very down about the PA House race though. First NY 23. Now this one...”
It’s easy to forget how brain dead dimbot voters can be. Since this was a primary we should have never expected much from them.
Its going to be okay. When the ticket is actually against the D vs. R, they will show up!!!! and 2010 it will be a race to the ballot box. Count on it.
Really? Is there a day of military service among the 3 of them?
Thanks. I didn’t know and your post is the first I’ve read.
How can you compare 4 states to Nov? The Burns race isn’t over and the others are pretty interesting, especially Paul. Don’t forget PA is a Blue state w/a huge union organization, KY is more like the rest of the states.
Pray for America
I’m with you - don’t think the rep had a chance even if McLame won it in ‘08 - remeber Murtha was corrupt, a has-been, certifiable and called his constituents racists and red necks ....and STILL got re-elected ... I consider that district completely BRAIN DEAD...they deserve what they get...
As am I, as voters have short memories and November is eons away. The fact that the dems are beginning to make slight inroads (if we're to believe Rasmussen)in the generic polling is giving me the heebie jeebies regardless of pundits predicting we may win the house and the Senate. I wish they'd keep it close to the vest and stop boasting or it will fall like a house of cards.
No problem :)
Murtha was knee deep in ABSCAM, and Reagan won PA in landslides in 1980 and 1984, and Murtha still won those elections without breaking a sweat. Swing district my ass.
AP CALLING IT FOR SESTAK.
FOX NEWS JUST CALLED IT FOR SESTAK!
AP justed called Sestak
Thanks for the encouraging words. I'm already nagging everyone I know and getting info on how to work the phones whatever. It's just so important.
What does that matter? Murtha was a vet, and look how he turned out.
SPECTOR GOES D-O-W-N !!!
Chris Matthews is funny tonight...Like watchin a child zip up his pee pee
