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"

LOL! You’re so right! A lame OLD DUCK rejected by both parties!
Tally Ho Scotland!
You meant a run-off between Lincoln and Halter, of course.
Thanks for the updates. Where are you getting your info?
As I said earlier,on another thread, I think many people voted in the Dem Primary in AR who will vote for Republicans
in the general election.
And the dopey district voters are apparently buying it...just like the country with the Obamanation...when does the country wake up, for God’s sake???????
HE SAD! If you have to ask whom, well................
He’s closed it 8 pts so far. It is going to be close.
Pray for America
Oh POOOOO!

I hope Lincoln wins. Halter is a progressive and moveon.org went all out for him.
“Right now, we’ve got a great opportunity to replace one of the conservative Democrats in Congress who blocked so much progress this year—and send a message to all the others.
Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas is up for reelection and the state’s progressive lieutenant governor, Bill Halter, is deciding whether to challenge her in the Democratic primary.
When it comes to Democrats, Lincoln is the worst of the worst. She promised to filibuster health care reform if it contained a public option, is cosponsoring a bill to roll back the Clean Air Act, and sided with big banks to kill the president’s mortgage relief plan.”

Apparently Arlen is speaking to his supporters now but both FNC nor CNN are covering it. Guess they’re emulating Bambi by throwing him under the bus. 30 years and no one seems to care.
Somerset county is a pretty solid Murtha stronghold. He won it 58-42 last election.
Smarlin Arlen - will he run to the Sunday shows now?
His arrogance! His rude behavior!
He will not be missed.
I now think Steelers fans are dopes...
*cringe for incoming*

Good, she is by FAR the lesser of the two evils.
You have your numbers mixed up.
Only 41% of the vote is in for the 12th, not 75%.
Post of the night!
it’s gonna take 4 months just to get Specter’s carp outta his offices.....
... Specter was elected 3 years before racoons voted on the mask
The main thing is that Lincoln not get 50 percent. Then she has to go into a runoff with a liberal Dem . .further weakening her in November.
I voted for Halter just to beat her butt! We can take out either of them in the general but I wanted her to know how much we DON’T LIKE LIARS (who don’t even live in Arkansas)!
She has been looking for money all day from her maxed out big hitters so I figured she was getting ready for a runoff or wanted to pay off her campaign debt before she got on her plane for her real home in Virginia.
Remember when he got “snarky” with Laura Ingraham?
“Now listen here young lady...”
