Alabama, Mississippi, and New Jersey Results Open Thread

Posted by James L.

The polls are closed in these three states and results are trickling in.

AL-GOV: 4.38% 36.11% 84.97%Precincts Reporting (Note: A candidate needs 50%+1 in order to avert a run-off):

Lucy Baxley (D): 17,075 (54.27) 44,761 (58.16) 125,233 (61.01) 249,134 (59.93)
Siegelman, Don (D) 13,757 (43.72) 30,031 (39.02) 73,007 (35.57) 150,698 (36.25)

Okay, Baxley's starting to put this thing away. Thank God.

Bob Riley (R-inc): 28,408 (69.23) 59,973 (68.19) 132,761 (65.42)
Roy Moore (R): 12,624 (30.77) 27,971 (31.81) 70,185 (34.58)

Riley's safe; yawn.

MS-02: 5.26% 23.48% 47.57% 77.53% Precincts Reporting :

Bennie Thompson (D-Inc): 2,893 (76.64) 16,340 (65.98) 29,440 (64.52) 41,801 (63.79)
Chuck Espy (D): 864 (22.89) 8,261 (33.36) 15,884 (34.81) 23,237 (35.46)

The AP's also calling it for Thompson. Espy didn't come close at all, despite the name.

NJ-13 Special Primary, 25.28% 65.15% 94.99% Precincts Reporting :

Albio Sires (D): 3,661 (56.33) 12,684 (67.46) 23,337 (73.51)
Joseph Vas (D): 2,838 (43.67) 6,117 (32.54) 8,410 (26.49)

Vas looked surprisingly strong early on, but they're calling it for Sires, the Corzine-endorsed machine candidate.

I'll post updates when the picture changes.

AP declares Bob Riley a winner over Roy Moore.

Don Siegelman is refusing to concede. He's waiting on the black-majority counties known as the Black Belt to report. The black vote nearly saved him four years ago against Riley but this time Alabama's black political groups are behind Baxley.

In other Alabama races:

Attorney General
1,057 of 3,240 Precincts Reporting
John Tyson Dem 77,507 54.47%
Larry Darby Dem 64,786 45.53%

Darby is a Holocaust denier.

And in the GOP primary for state supreme court justice, the Roy Moore clone, Tom Parker, is losing big. Parker wrote an op-ed saying that state judges are not obligated to obey U.S. Supreme Court precedent.

Supreme Court Chief Justice
1,016 of 3,240 Precincts Reporting

Drayton Nabers GOP 92,627 60.68%
Tom Parker GOP 60,013 39.32%

I came from ala with my laptop on my knee, and I have 2 chidren and lotsa kin down there.
So I love it when good folks take the vote. I really enjoy telling folks about the "I'm one blue spot in a sea of red."
Great about Moore going down; bad about the gay marriage. Lawsy mussy me, when will folks learn: immigrants, gays, blacks......it's all to divide and conquer by totalitarians or southern demagogues, same/same.
