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"

Organization is a big piece of the primaries and the unions/acorn are well organized.

Pray for America

[kcvl]

You can’t get much closer than that!

[onyx]

Let’s use the accurate count that Eternal Vigilance is posting.

At this point, it looks like a run-off situation to me.

[matginzac]

Couldn’t agree with you more but the rest of the bunch - you missed McCain and Grahamnesty - didn’t turn his back on the party that gave him so much power and seniority...as I said, I get the sentiments of “good riddance” ...
BUT, if the dude who gets in is a crazy, incoherent, libtard, what does that get you?
And the idiots of PA could deliver him...(I know him from the Navy...)
So, go ahead and have fun...I’m taking a valium....

[kcvl]

I guess voting for Halter worked! I wasn't the only one.

The more money they spend beating each other up the better!

[onyx]

They're limousine libs! They didn't earn their money.

[EternalVigilance]

It’s still within 700 votes.

I’ll wait a bit to post the numbers again, but if anyone wants to check, the numbers are being updated here:

[Jrabbit]

Fox updated....says it’s gonna be a runoff...Bret sobered up.

[Suz in AZ]

So who will Morrison endorse?

[bray]

Highlites of the night have to be Arlen losing and Paul. Not bad.

Pray for America

[onyx]

Yes, indeed! Spend that democrat money fighting each other!

Make the fight low down, expensive and dirty....lol.

[onyx]

Thank you!!!

[EternalVigilance]

About 350 votes separate them at the last update.

[onyx]

So who will Morrison endorse?

Best to ask kcvl.

kcvl?

[smoothsailing]

I wonder how soon Gleason will start blaming Bill Russell for Burns loss. Heck, he’s probably somewhere doing it now. Gleason has no one but himself to blame, he wanted a loser and he got just what he wanted.

[onyx]

That spells run-off. (Excellent) LOL.

[CPT Clay]

Looks like a tough district for a republican to win.

[EternalVigilance]

With Halter ahead, by the way. :-)
