9:06pm: Move along, now, y’all. Over here.
9:04pm: “Out East” or so they say, with 18% reporting in Vermont, Markowitz has a 121-vote lead over Shumlin, who has a 6-vote lead over Racine. For those of you that prefer percentages, that’s 26-25-25, with 19 for Dunne.
9:01pm: 39% reporting in OK-05 now, Jim Lankford continues to lead Kevin Calvey, now 61-39. First of several outsider upsets tonight?
8:57pm: All of Broward’s reporting in FL-17, Wilson continues to hold her 33-16 lead. Broward is 26% of the district.
8:55pm: The AP’s also called FL-08 for Daniel Webster, who’s holding his 40-23 lead over Todd Long.
8:53pm: The AP’s called the OK-02 runoff for Charles Thompson, who…has a $13k warchest. While that’s better than Edmonds’ $1300, it’ll likely be no match for Dan Boren.
8:49pm: Bill McCollum is lagging Rick Scott just a little more in FL-Gov (R), with Scott now up 46-43. While McCollum’s stronghold of Miami-Dade is only 0.1% reporting, let’s not forget that around 40% of votes are cast early in Florida, and those have indeed reported.
8:47pm: Some early results coming through in Vermont. With 12% reporting, SoS Deb Markowitz has a narrow 28-25 lead over Lt. Gov Doug Racine; Shumlin and Dunne are close behind at 21 apiece.
8:44pm: Further down the peninsula, Daniel Webster leads Todd Long 40-23 in FL-08; Sandy Adams leads Karen Diebel 32-30 in FL-24, and “Road Rage” Rivera has 65 in FL-25. For the “Get to Congress Free” card in FL-17, Frederica Wilson has 33% to Rudy Moise’s 16%. (The GOP isn’t contesting this district in November.)
8:39pm: Another 200 precincts have rolled in down in Florida; Rick Scott continues to hold his 46-44 advantage for the GOP Gov nod. 57% reporting in FL-02, with Boyd seeing a little more daylight at 52-48 now. Alarmingly for him, only early votes have reported in Gadsden County, which is heavily-Democratic and majority-black.
8:38pm: In Oklahoma, Charles Thompson leads Daniel Edmonds 66-34 in OK-02 with about 10% reporting; Jim Lankford looks on track to upset establishment pick Kevin Calvey in OK-05, leading 58-42 with 9% reporting.
8:24pm: Wow. Allen Boyd only leads Al Lawson by 2% with 42% reporting.
8:21pm: Summerwind sails into the sunset. The AP has called the Dem Senate primary for Kendrick Meek.
8:18pm: Over in FL-24, Sandy Adams leads Karen “Snakes in a Pool” Diebel by 31-30 with 29% reporting.
8:11pm: We’re up to 30% reporting in Florida, and Scott is still holding steady at 46-44 over McCollum. Meek leads Greene by 55-32. Oh, and hey: The AP has called FL-Sen (R) for Marco Rubio and FL-Gov (D) for Alex Sink.
8:05pm: Some early results in from Vermont — Deb Markowitz, Matt Dunne, and Doug Racine are separated by a mere handful of votes.
7:57pm: Rick Scott’s margin has tightened to 46-44, in part thanks to McCollum’s strong performance in Miami-Dade, where the pocket protector-wielding dork is boasting 66% of the vote.
7:48pm: In the AP’s hot early precinct action in FL-25, scumbucket David Rivera has 57% to Paul Crespo’s 33% and Mariana Cancio’s 10%.
7:42pm: We’re up to 5.5% reporting in the Gov race, and Rick Scott’s lead over Bill McCollum is now at 48-42. In the Senate race, Meek now leads Greene by 51-36.
7:36pm: Some early House primary results: Boyd leads Lawson 59-41 in FL-02. Richard Nugent’s got a 60-40 lead over Pat Sager in FL-05. Dan Webster’s at 40%, with a big lead over Todd Long in FL-08. In FL-24, Sandy Adams, Karen Diebel and Craig Miller are essentially locked in a three-way tie.
7:31pm: So much for the Florida DoE’s futile plan to hold the results until 8pm… The Associated Press has already got some early precinct action: Meek is up 48%-38% on Greene, and Rick Scott leads Bill McCollum by 50-40!
7:24pm: And we’re off! Only, Florida is holding their results until 8pm…
RESULTS:
- Florida: Associated Press | FL DoE | Politico
- Oklahoma: Associated Press | OK SEB | Politico
- Vermont: Associated Press | Politico
has some results for FL-Sen (R). aka, not one of the races we care about.
Little surprise that hippie-esque Vermont would be taking a ganja break.
the Burlington free press was link awful
The election that will haunt us forever.
now they’re also showing FL-Sen (D) results with Lake County all of a sudden going up to 60%. bam. and some votes in Volusia too.
Very Early
Boyd 60%
Lawson 40%
Know your readership.
He’s generously breaking even on his home turf of Tampa and northern suburbs. Sad.
Racine starts with two point lead; Leahy up 90-10 over the other Dem.
If anyone calls Kendrick Meek “Kendrick Meeks” tonight I will be pissed.
beg on my hands and knees if you have not seen this site yet check it out. Please, it is so funny.

coming in big for McCollum
Who do we have there?
McCollum seems to be winning the Cubans in the southeast and the “moderates” from Orlando and Miami. Scott is doing well in the ultra-right wing counties in the southwest and the panhandle.
He’s up 57-43 so far, but nothing from Tallahassee, which is presumably where Lawson would do best.
Numbers should tighten as more of the SE Fla counties report but right now Republicans are crushing in total voters.
is losing in the race for Attorney General. I think he’s the current LG.
Rubio is the biggest winner tonight with Meek’s smashing of Greene.
If Lawson wins, is this a certain Republican win, or does is this still a fight, just one a little easier for Republicans?
Boyd leads by 4. Hopefully that’ll stay.
which Republican do we want to win the FL-Gov primary? I have seen conflicting polls which alternately show Scott and then McCollum performing better against Sink. What is the general consensus here, if there is one?
Home of Panama City is putting the beatdown on McCollum!
predicted in FL-08
3 more primary days. LA and WV Saturday, DE, MD, MA, NH, NY, RI, and WI the 14th, and HI the 18th. There is also likely, but not certain, to be run-off’s in LA on Oct. 2, as well as primaries for state races. LA-02 and LA-03 may head to run-offs, with LA-03 being extremely likely.
Most people on SSP predicted McCollum would win. Does everyone still feel that way now?
