23. I think Romanoff going negative backfired. I think Bennett will win.

[jefferson_dem]

3. CO: Bennet up 53/47, with 48% in.

They must've dumped those early votes in pronto.

[Hawkeye-X]

4. Romanoff will overcome the tiny deficit VERY soon.

[ericinne]

5. Steven Barton

Steven Barton 0%?

[Uzybone]

6. Looks like the Palin touch is working in Ga

Her chosen shithead is losing with 80% in

Republicans VOTES PCT.
Nathan Deal 237,838 51%
Karen Handel 229,274 49%

[Robbins]

10. GA

Handel also had Romney for her and used Bush's Bring it On slogan.Huchabee and Gingrich supported Deal.Well hopefull Roy Barner
can beat Deal In November.Still the Republican Media darling has egg on her face again and back another loser.

[Robbins]

7. CT

Wow!Lamont Is getting his ass kicked here.Virtually every poll had him ahead In the primary.It Is still early but quite a devolpment.

[CTLawGuy]

9. it's the low turnout

and the fact that it's very difficult to poll a primary accurately.

[jefferson_dem]

12. FWIW, Dan Malloy will prove to be a better candidate in the General than Ned would have.

Might be a good GUV pick-up for us.

[CTLawGuy]

14. I have nothing against Malloy

But he will be outgunned by Matt Foley (a.k.a. Tom Foley) who will be financing his own campaign.

[book_worm]

24. Quinnipiac poll showed both dems beating GOP for Gov--I think CT will be a Gov pick up

[jefferson_dem]

8. Bennet up 58-42% in El Paso County, while Romanoff leads 53-47 in Denver County and 52-48 in Boulder

n/t

[Robbins]

17. CO

Bennet leads 54 to 46 with 58 percent of the vote In.It looks like the latest general election numbers Is helping Bennet.And Obama's
record for the success of his endosements of primary candiates may be broken tonight.

[jefferson_dem]

19. A shame...

Romanoff was a promising candidate... Would love to see him in the Senate but not sure how he closes that gap at this point.

[book_worm]

25. latest PPP poll out yesterday has Bennett up 6 going into the GE against GOP

[jefferson_dem]

28. And the CO GOP is in shambles, with nutty Tancredo dropping his turd in the punchbowl.

[book_worm]

27. To win Romanoff needed to do better than that I think n Denver County and Boulder.

[saltpoint]

11. Recommended. These are juicy contests for

anybody who likes to follow politics.

[CTLawGuy]

13. good news

Scumbag Liebercrat Mike Jarjura getting thwomped in CT comptroller's primary. Jarjura is anti-choice, anti-gay and buddies with the Family Institute of CT (guess what they do....) and he supported the independent candidacy of Lieberman in 06 IIRC.

Lembo, Kevin Dem 43,078 73%
Jarjura, Michael Dem 15,811 27%

[jefferson_dem]

15. Nice.

I hate the "DINO" label but seriously...WTF. What separates that shit from an actual Repug?

[CTLawGuy]

16. no clue

Jarjura is also the mayor of scenic Waterbury, CT, a town known for electing a child molester (Phil Giordano, now in federal prison) as mayor and for elevating corrupt former governor John Rowland to the governor's mansion.

[Jennicut]

21. I voted for Lembo. I hate Jarjura. My husband works in Waterbury and knows it well.

[CTLawGuy]

29. update

Race called for Lembo... Jarjura goes down

18. Teabaggers rejoicing in CO. Both Maes and Buck up slightly.

Yeee Hawww...

[jefferson_dem]

20. Sabato: This is arguably best primary night Dems have had in '10.

This is arguably best primary night Dems have had in '10. Barnes now 50-50 in GA GOV, GOP a mess in CO GOV, could help Bennet in SEN.

Plus Dems got strongest GOV nominee in CT, now Leans D for Nov. CT SEN still Leans D (at least). & I'm inclined to say MN GOV Leans D in Nov

[Jennicut]

22. Yeah, I voted for Lamont but I am fine with Malloy. It was a tough choice, honestly.

We were lucky to actually have a tough choice!

[CTLawGuy]

26. I agree

in a very non-me fashion, I had not decided until a couple of days ago...

[Jennicut]

31. I decided about two weeks ago. I was definitely more concerned with Jarjura then anything else.

And having fun watching the Repub Gov candidates tear each other apart.

[CTLawGuy]

33. I'm hoping for Fedele

my only concern with Malloy is his inability to match Foley on funds. But the race can be won on the ground if not through the air.

[jefferson_dem]

30. Denver Post calls it for Bennet.

[saltpoint]

32. A noble effort for Andrew Romanoff, though, and

he remains a good man.

I hope we see more of him in elections to follow.

Thanks for this thread, j_d.

[jefferson_dem]

34. My pleasure, saltpoint.
