Lieutenant Governor Republican: Carrie Lewis DelRosso

Pennsylvania is one of a few states were the Governor and Lieutenant Governor run in separate primaries but as a ticket in the general.


Not quite, there's one more to make, one where I was wrong and reports of the Progressive Movement's death have been exaggerated:

Dem PA-12(Pittsburgh): Summer Lee

A race that no one was watching became a big Democratic surprise.


The margin in the Senate primary continues to drop. I think Oz could pull it off.

Still one race in NC to call, and that's mostly to see if it avoids NOP territory, but it may be an interesting November seat. In the meantime, more calls:

GOP OR-Governor: Christine Drazan

Aye...I'm pulling the call...third time tonight. Still, I don't pretend to be an expert.

Oregon will become the second state where a woman succeeds a woman as Governor. Arizona was the first state where that happened. Kotek is probably the favorite.

Aye, I know the Republicans have high hopes, but the numbers are against them.

And another call:

GOP ID-Governor: Brad Little
GOP NC-1(Elizabeth City-Rocky Mount): Sandy Smith

And in Pennsylvania, McCormick's majority is down to 672. It may well be the last call of the night...especially cause the only other calls I've got left is are in Oregon.

It was a few minutes ago, and the numbers have changed. NYT has it at 1,487 now. And there's still a few major vote centres left in Bucks, Franklin, and Delaware counties, which is what changed my mind.

Its actually a relief that Brad Little won because the white supremacists and fascists that are taking over Idaho apparently wanted the Lt. Governor to win.

They must not be as powerful...Little's even ahead in their ancestral nerve centre of Bonner County.

EDIT: Oops, Kootenai County's got Coeur D'Alene, got them mixed up.

Its HuffPost, but there was a fun article on the Idaho situation

If there's any state to be unsurprised by a white supremacist, fascist, extremist takeover though, its that state.

Also Brad Little's opponent was Trump-endorsed. The Trump-endorsed candidate lost in IDAHO.

i'm moving with my fellow good americans to idaho where true american values continued to be upheld and valiantly defended from the woke progressive hordes that lay deep within the dark crevasses of woke twitter that seek to kill america and align with satan, the new world order, and the big-government baby killing socialists within the segregationist china-collaborationist america last "democratic" party

No, they'd sunk him months before, the video is what pushed the common voters over the edge. Remember, Asheville itself may be Sapphire Blue, but the region's also where Billy Graham got his start.

It says a lot when your too crazy for the Governor’s chair in Idaho. Residents did get to see exactly what she would do as executive when she served as acting Governor.

He tired to play it off as “buddies goofing around”. I mean, I don’t know of any allegedly completely heterosexual man that would thrust his dick into a guys face. I mean, I’m homosexual, and I don’t trust my junk into my male friends’s faces.


Hi, my name's Telconi and I'm a totally straight guy who's crotch has been in a lot of dude's faces.

Extremely cheap beer was almost always involved.

The video where he thrust his genitals at a guy, which he defended as drunk shenanigans.

Erm..so far, his endorsement record is still pretty good. He was expected to lose his gubernatorial picks since it's been mostly arrogance and vanity that decides who he select, but his Congressional record's still pretty strong. Budd won tonight, Oz still has a good shot at doing so. Next week though....he's going to get shellacked in Georgia AND Alabama.
