all things considered,
it would have probably been better for conservatives if Tierney got re=elected so that conservatives would have a shot at the seat in 2016. Now it is gone for over 20 years.
Tierney’s defeat is definitely bad news for Republican prospects of winning the seat, this year and down the road, and therefore it’s nothing to celebrate, I don’t really care if the homo RINO (HINO? ROMO?) wins or not though.
Full primary roundup.
MA-6, John Tierney becomes the only rat incumbent to be denied renomination this year. Seth Moulton defeated him by the final margin of 49%-41%, (with the rest for minor candidates, but they didn’t take enough votes to save Tierney) a poll out yesterday showed Tierney up only 1 point, presaging this defeat.
Martha Coakley wins the rat nomination for Governor in vote that was closer than polls had indicated, 42%-36% over Steve Grossman. RINO Chaz Baker wins the GOP nod by a 3-1 margin over an unknown and poorly funded conservative.
MA-9, the GOP nomination has apparently gone to former Reagan aide John Chapman, the best funded GOP candidate. Outside chance of winning in November.
NH
In the Senate primary Scott Brown wins the GOP nod over unviable challengers Jim Ruebens and Bob “Kerry” Smith. The general election has closed, close to a tossup now.
Businessman Walt Havenstein wins the GOP nomination for Governor. The rat incumbent is expected to win easily
In CD 1 Frank Guinta wins a closer than expected contest with yeat another gay RINO, Dan Innis who snagged the endorsement of the Union Leader.
In CD 2, total hottie Marilinda Garcia easily wins the GOP nomination
Good shot at both Congressional seats.
RI
State General Treasurer Gina Raimondo runs away with the 3 way rat primary for Governor, winning 42% to Providence Mayor Angel Taveras’ 29%, Lincoln Chaffee endorsed rat scion Clay Pell got 27%. One scion endorsing another, interesting.
Cranston Mayor Allan Fung wins the GOP nod by 10 points over Ken Block. Competitive general election.
GOP has a weak candidate for Sec of State (open seat) and no candidate for General Treasurer. But a State Senator, Dawson Hodgson (quite a name), is the nominee against the rat AG. And a viable seeming woman named Catherine Taylor is the nominee for LT Governor (elected separately from Governor). GOP hasn’t won LT Governor since 1966, apparently, having only had a single appointed LT since then, Bernard Jackvony.
Delaware
ZZZZZZZZZZ
Weak 2012 nominee Kevin Wade wins the GOP Senate primary over any even more hapless fellow. Businessman Ken Simpler wins the GOP nod for Treasurer (open seat).
New York non-federal primary, waste of money having 2 separate primaries.
Cuomo easily wins renomination, 62%-34%, over weird named challenger Zephyr Teachout. His chosen running mate ex-Congresswoman
Kathy Hochul wins the primary for LT Governor by 20 points over Teachout’s running mate.
State Senate district 50, pro-gay and gay control RINO State Sen. Mark Grisanti is defeated by challenger Kevin Stocker, 53%-47%.
