** Primary Results: As they Roll In **

[Clio the Leo]

Will post what info comes in of ye olde Twitter (and anywhere else) ... and everyone, please join me in posting results that you hear about.

So far.......

With 4% of the precincts reporting, Paul leads Grayson in KY 55% to 39% .... Dems (whomever they may be, ha!) are locked dead even. .... Grayson apparently only has 30% of the vote in his home district. He probably should just turn the lights out and go to bed. ;)

TPM Has a running Results Board....

Remember, we WANT Paul to win ...... because he's bat sh*t crazy!!! So this is the ONE time in your life to root for a teabagger! Enjoy it! lol

[Cha]

1. I'll give this a kick.

[Clio the Leo]

2. In all seriousness, it's Conway 41% Mongiardo 40%, in the KY-D

... with 14% reporting in.

3. Article:"Paul Leads Grayson in KY"

[Clio the Leo]

4. Paul 53-34 over Grayson, 16% in NT

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

5. We're rooting for Paul, right? I'm cheering for ALL tea baggers tonight!

Don't care who they are. When's the AZ Republican primary because it's J.D. all the way for me!!! :cheers:

[Clio the Leo]

7. Sure are!!! Yay TEABAGGERS GO!!!!! lol NT

[Clio the Leo]

6. "Rand Paul source: "We have it locked up. Only question is how big."

[Qutzupalotl]

8. But if the teabaggers sweep, won't the media push them as unstoppable?

I think that's all we'll hear about until November.

I'm not optimistic about the public realizing they're crazy in time.

Talk me down.

[jenmito]

9. Not if the turnout is light, which it seemed to be...

so far, I heard that turnout was lighter than expected which shows lack of enthusiasm.

[Clio the Leo]

14. Yep, it was.

Compared with RECORD turn out in AR.

[jenmito]

16. Good! They better discuss the implications of that! I bet they won't.

We'll see. :hi:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

19. That's right. Light turn is always bad for Republicans. When we turn out, Dems win!

Don't know why the M$M isn't completing the thought. They know damn well that turnout almost always makes or breaks Democrats.

[Clio the Leo]

21. And look at the numbers so far...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x303693#303718

.... more Dems than Republicans are voting. But shhh... dont tell anyone .... let them think they're gonna retake Congress in November, it will be more fun if they wake up the next morning in shock.

[jenmito]

23. I'm waiting to see if Keith mentions it. He's talking about that race right now.

No mention so far...

[Clio the Leo]

25. Nope..... had to save time to bash the top Democrat in the land.

well .... I guess I'd rather he be that way than be like they are at Fox.

[jenmito]

32. Keith JUST mentioned that the Dems. in KY got more votes than the Repubs. and they'll

be talking more about it after the break! (Whatup Clio?) :fistbump: (In honor of your shout-out to 538.) :D

[Clio the Leo]

40. YAY!!!!!! NT

[Clio the Leo]

13. Let them...

... let moderate Republicans get the idea that the GOP has been ceded to the racist loonies.

[one_voice]

Yeah, I was wondering the same...

thing. It'll give the baggers way too much exposure. Give them more credit than what's due.

I'm on the ledge with you. :-)

On the other hand, how great would it be it they did beat their chests only to get demolished in Nov. Now that would be sweeeetttt!

[Clio the Leo]

10. Tweety just called KY-R for Paul....

... and if Tweety says it, it's golden!

(and yes Pirate Smile, I'm saying that JUST for your enjoyment! lol)

[stevenleser]

11. Love ya Clio, but I will never root for a Teabagger.

Besides, you never know what can happen in the general. Our candidate could get hit by a car or something and then we would have someone bats!@t crazy in office.

[Clio the Leo]

15. ah come on .... just once!

It will be like "backwards day" in high school. lol

I'm about to go make me some misspelled signs .... dress up like Martha Washington. ;)

[jenmito]

12. Paul projected winner! YAY! We'll win in Nov. n/t

[Clio the Leo]

17. Final vote tally in Grayson's home district: Paul 67, Grayson 31. NT

[Clio the Leo]

18. Let this be a lesson to the GOP everywhere...

... VEER RIGHT!!! HARD RIGHT!!! lol

Dress up like Daniel Boone and shout racial epithets at the President from the House and Senate floors! It's the ONLY way to save yourselves!!! :rofl:

[Clio the Leo]

20. And the only other question left is....

... will Rand wear pants to his victory celebration tonight?

[Clio the Leo]

22. Conway pulling away from Mongiardo, 50 to 38% with 39% in. NT

[Clio the Leo]

24. Paul's victory party said to be a generic country club affair...

.... not a "tea party rager." What? He doesn't rub elbows with the little people? lol

http://twitter.com/hambypCNN/status/14260073798

[Clio the Leo]

26. Conway 48%, Mongiardo 40% with 52% of precincts in. NT

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

27. Whoa! Have they called it yet for Conway? Looks like the margin is closing, not widening! n/t

[Clio the Leo]

29. I think they are waiting for the rural counties to come in...

.... where Mongiardo is expected to do better.

[MadBadger]

28. 66%-33% for Specter as of this minute

Only about 5,000 votes in

[MadBadger]

30. 64-36 Specter, still 1% reporting. Philly is coming in

[Clio the Leo]

33. Poor Arlen .... this may be the last lead of his career.

Sad.

[Clio the Leo]

31. "Grover Norquist to me: "The lesson is, don't have Dick Cheney endorse you."

huh! (Cheney had endorsed Grayson)

http://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/14261261735

[Arkana]

34. Wow, unless they're just counting Specter precincts right now,

Sestak's in deep doodoo.

[MadBadger]

35. Only 8200 votes fo far. I dont know what are Specter districts, but my guess it they are.

[Clio the Leo]

39. In the past, I've seen the press say that an incumbent would need to hold his opponent..

.... to a certain percentage in order to count on KEEPING the lead as the other precincts ... but so far, no such analysis. Would be helpful though.

[MadBadger]

36. 52-48 Specter

[Clio the Leo]

37. Daddy's home....

.... or at the victory party anyway.

With apologies who those who aren't on Twitter and wont be able to see this...

http://twitpic.com/1p08tl

[MadBadger]

38. Philly.com has the race 12,825-6,619. The State of PA has it 12457-11660

Obviously way different information in the early going. I'll go with the official state

[Clio the Leo]

41. Arkansas: Halter 43, Lincoln 40, Morrison 18 with less than 1% in. NT

[Clio the Leo]

42. Remember, Morrison is important because...

he could KEEP Lincoln from getting 50% and if no one gets to 50% then we get a run off.

[MadBadger]

43. 101%!!!

[Clio the Leo]

46. 6% in: 48 - 42 Specter. NT

[Clio the Leo]

44. Local coverage of the KY race here...

http://www.whas11.com/news/Watch-WHAS11-Special-Election-Coverage-LIVE-94195619.html

[PM7nj]

45. Specter has a large lead in Philadelphia.

16% of the city in, Specter leads 66.5% to Sestak's 33.5%

[Clio the Leo]

47. "Philly has reported quickly."

Which to ME sounds like there weren't many votes to count..... NOT good for Specter.

http://twitter.com/PoliticsNation/status/14262556918

[MadBadger]

48. Depending on what site you are following, you are going to find very different results

[PM7nj]

49. I agree

Specter has a huge lead in Philly, but statewide they are neck and neck. .

[Clio the Leo]

50. Starting new thread...

everyone jump! :)
