DE, NH Primary Results Thread

Polls have now closed in Delaware and New Hampshire, where we’ll be keeping an eye on the GOP primaries in NH-01 and NH-02, and the Dem race for DE-Gov, and for the super curious — DE-AL.

RESULTS: DE-AL (AP) | DE-Gov (AP) | NH-01 and NH-02 (AP)

11:31PM: The AP calls NH-01 for Jeb Bradley. I’ve gotta say, for a two-term former Rep, this was a pretty mediocre showing. This was a damaging primary for the GOP, with Bradley receiving scorn from local editorial boards for his misleading attack ads. All year he’s shown little fire in the belly in terms of fundraising, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the DCCC greets him to the general election campaign with a prompt punch in the nose soon. In short: don’t believe the hype of flawed UNH polls until we see some better information.

10:32PM: With 76% in, Bradley is up by 815 votes. Horn seems to have a comfortable lead at 1300 votes with 71% reporting.

9:53PM: Bradley now leads by 700 votes with 59% in. Horn is back up by 700 votes as well, with 54% reporting.

9:43PM: In NH-01, with 54% in, Bradley is back up by 400 votes. In NH-02, Horn’s lead has whittled down to 20 votes with 47% in.

9:42PM: Jack Markell narrowly wins the Dem gubernatorial nomination in Delaware.

9:26PM: 44% in, and Stephen’s lead is down to a mere 40 votes. If he doesn’t have any other strongholds with Manchester-like margins, I’m not sure that he’ll be able to hold onto the lead for much longer.

9:17PM: With 42% in Stephen has pulled ahead by 49-48 (200 votes) based on his strong performance in Manchester, which is now all in. Horn still leads by 3% (250 votes) with 33% in.

9:14PM: Over in Delaware, with 61% reporting, Markell is up by 52-48 (2500 votes), and Karen Hartley-Nagle has won the right to get creamed by Mike Castle in November. Possum with the big 1-0%.

8:58PM: With 29% reporting, Jeb has opened up a 55-42 lead over Stephen. Horn is up 200 votes (4%) in NH-02 with 22% reporting.

8:44PM: Over in Delaware, Markell is up with a slim lead over Carney (53-47) with 4% in. In the House race, Possum is stuck in a borrow at 10%.

8:39PM ET: With 26% in, Bradley is leading Stephen by 50-47 (or 170 votes), but Stephen has a sizable early lead in Manchester. In NH-01, Horn leads Clegg by 42-34. Dismal turnout.

  2. there’s also DC’s local primaries, where polls closed at 8 EDT:

    http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/f…

    Former Mayor (and now 8th Ward councilman) Marion “Bitch Set Me Up” Barry is being challenged by several contenders. This is Ward 8, where Nader got more votes than Bush in 2000, so this is the election.

    By the DC Charter, the DC council must have two members of not-the-majority-party, aka not Democrats. Liberal (read: pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-gun control, pro-equal pay) Republican Councilwoman Carol Schwartz is being challenged by Patrick Mara, who alleges that Schwartz is too “anti-business”. Go figure. (The other non-Democrat is ex-Republican turned Independent David Catania, who left the GOP in 2004 over gay rights.)

  8. I feel kinda bad for Possum, but this was a guaranteed trip to 30%-35% in November, anyways. Spivack raised real money, and he still only held Castle to 57% of the vote, IIRC.

  14. What I predicted.


    DE-Gov: Markell 54 – Carney 46

    DE-AL: Possum 45 – Hartley-Nagle 35 – Mike Miller 20

    NH-01: Bradly 55 – Stephen 45

    NH-02: Clegg 50 – Horn 45 – Various Losers 5

    Major fail on DE-AL. Jerry spent more money and I thought in a primary like this it would mean a win, guess not. WAY off for that. Governor’s race I got the winner right but was off three points for the prediction. Looks like I also way overestimated Bradly and Clegg and way underestimated various losers. Still time for a Clegg comeback and I think I got the winner right in NH-01 but otherwise not so great predictions.

    Ah well. Can’t get them right all the time!
