Polls have now closed in most of Indiana, so we’ll start our evening of liveblogging here (we’ll touch bases in North Carolina and Ohio as polls close there in another hour and a half).
RESULTS: Associated Press | IN SoS | Politico
7:41PM: We’re moving the party over to our new thread.
7:36PM: Burton leads Messer by 38-30 with 124 of 617 precincts in.
7:32PM: Wow — teabagger Kristi Risk leads NRCC fave Larry Buschon in IN-08 by less than 50 votes with under a third of precincts reporting.
7:30PM: Polls are now closed in North Carolina and Ohio — we’ll have a new results thread up for all three states shortly. Also, all of the polls closed in western Indiana half an hour ago.
7:25PM: With 86 out of 587 precincts in, Young is back up over Sodrel by 44-40. In IN-02, with about a fifth of the precincts in, Wacky Jackie leads Jack Jordan by 47-37. And Mark Souder now has a 48-35 lead over Bob Thomas with a little under half of the vote in.
7:15PM: Some more House updates: Walorski leads Jordan by 49-36 in IN-02 (with 93 precincts in), Souder is back up over Thomas by 43-37 (55 precincts in), Rokita is crushing in IN-04, Burton leads Messer by 38-27 (39 precincts in), Buschon leads Risk by 30-26 in IN-08, and Sodrel leads Young by just 13 votes in IN-09.
7:00PM: 21 precincts are now in, and Mark Souder has fallen behind Bob Thomas by 32 votes.
6:50PM: With 92 precincts reporting in IN-08, NRCC fave Larry Buschon is posting quite a weak-assed performance. He’s at 33%, with 26% for teabagger Kristi Risk — and the rest split among six different flavors of crazy.
6:46PM: With 111 precincts now in statewide, Dan Coats leads the way with 40%. Hostettler has 26%, and Stutzman is close behind with 25%.
6:43PM: And keep an eye on IN-03! Incumbent Mark Souder leads Bob Thomas by only 39-37 with six precincts reporting.
6:40PM: There’s only once precinct in from IN-05 so far, but keep your eye on this race. Luke Messer is currently leading incumbent Republican Dan Burton by 36-31.
6:33PM: 10 precincts are now in, and check this out — Coats leads Stutzman by only 39-36 (with the Hos’ at 17%).
6:28PM: Over in IN-02, Wacky Jackie Walorski leads Jack Jordan by a 57-36 margin — just one precinct in, though.
6:16PM: With a single precinct reporting (out of 5306), Dan Coats leads John Hostettler by 38%-28%. Marlin Stutzman has 15%. In IN-09, Todd Young has a very early 51-37 lead over Mike Sodrel.

I suppose Young’s many ads did help him after all. I was dead wrong on that one.
Marlin now 2nd: Coats 46% Stutzman 23% Hostettler 17%
A precinct from Marshall County and one from Wells County came in. Looking better from Coats.
Total 3/5306 80
9% 41
5% 409
46% 152 Coats
17% 198 Hosteletter
23% Stutzman
Walorski up 57-36.
Coats will win.
Fisher will win. Brunner needs to learn to not be a sore loser.
39-36!
Hosteletter is doing well in his home area but he needs to ramp it up in the northern part of the state where the teabagger votes are heading for Stutzman.
40/26/24 (Coates/Hoss/Stutzman)
coats will win all counties not in the 3rd (Stutzman), 8th or 9th (Hos)
would coats win or lose? its an interesting question
Less than two points down.
teabaggers aren’t beating down electable candidates (save FL-SEN), they are just popping crazy people out of solid red districts. Insane GOP unity of this year aside, the composition of a Congress changes as much from changes to the orientation within a party as from changes of the balance between them.
Should win. He is winning all the rural areas except around Hosteletter’s district.
More total votes in the uncontested Dem primary than in the tight GOP primary.
… in any contested district so far.
And Buschon only up 30-26.
Stutzman is leading in Marion County with Indianapolis.
Only 700 votes are in so it is probably just the early results.
Young leads by 5 with 11% in, Souder leads by 12 with 48% in.
Sodrel or Young? My best friend moved to IN and now lives in this district (voted for Hill the other day, really likes him).
If Brunner somehow pulls this thing out does that decrease our chances in the general?
