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"

One of my concerns is that we will end up losing because we don't know how to put up a unified front in the end.
The constant nit picking and bickering that I see here on the State Forums is what I worry about on a state-wide level.
Meanwhile, the Dems support whoever gets the nomination, and settles their differences without dragging it out in public, and making it personal.
Now, having said that, it would not surprise me to get several comments that will “prove my point”, if you get my meaning.
Part of why I don't hang on FreeRepublic like I used to.
In PA-12 only 8% of voters are independants, 63% are D’s and 29% are R’s.
Probably. It’s happened before.
No way. Look at the numbers I just posted above.
Those are from the AR SoS’s site in the last five minutes.
I don’t know! Bret Beir...whatever...said she won. How crazy is that?
And good riddance! LOL!
arkansasmatters.com has:
41% OF PRECINCTS REPORTING
Blanche Lincoln (D / Inc.) 61,384 43%
Bill Halter (D) 60,770 42%
D.C. Morrison (D) 20,844 15%
I don’t see how they can call it with >50% reporting and only about 600 votes dividing them.
HUH? REALLY?
I hadn't heard that before, but if true, that's wonderful.
Do you have a source for that info?
Fox showed 50% in...I’m gonna rewind...BRB

Don’t trust the media.
Cristal, eh?
My son just moved to Houston - do you have an unwed daughter?
I don’t understand these things either.
I just looked at the latest Eternal Vigilance posted and 600 votes separated them.
No doubt about it. Has your anger subsided? Mine just keeps growing ...and growing. We're all just sitting here waiting to pull the trigger in November. It's the only effective tool we have to fight back. And in November, we're going to fight back.
Yep...Bret said 50% of vote in and Blanche wins according to AP. oooopsy...he then says Blanche wins but there will be a runoff...I think he’s drunk or stoned

They know they won't be invited to the next big shindig if they don't contribute the max to her. They're stupid and I tell them that all the time. I would rather bury my money in the backyard than to socialize with politicians.
These people also slept in the Lincoln bedroom when Clinton was President. They have his freaking picture on their office wall! I would like to throw darts at it!
What is so ridiculously stupid is they received large inheritances that are TAXED to the max. How stupid can people be?! I try to be their financial advisor to no avail! DUMP THE TAX & SPEND LIBERALS...DUH!
