Link to watch election results come in....very early as I write this, Eden first, then Glassman, Dougherty and Parraz.
Means nothing yet. Just first results to be reported.

1. Yo

Looks like Glassman's gonna win it. I pretty much put the fix in when I voted for the other guy. Except for Obama, I haven't picked a winner in nearly 40 years....

[jillan]

2. I'm the same way - who did you vote for? I voted for Dougherty -

Not doing too good :(

I'm surprised that Eden is doing so well, and that Parraz is last - so far...still have a ways to go.
I thought Parraz would be 2nd - after Dougherty :P


I just hope Glassman has what it takes to go up against McCain. So far - not impressed, but that can change.

4. Dougherty, Also n/t

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

12. so can I pay you to vote for and hex McCain ?

and Gov butt face too.

[jillan]

3. What's making me crazy is the number of Repugs that came out to vote vs the # of Dems.

It's like 350K to 170K :(!!

[tucsonlib]

5. Not That Bad

If you leave out the Hayworth cuckoos, it's fairly even. And they'll likely stay home for general election. Or one can hope....

[jillan]

6. Just heard Glassman's speech.... Go Glassman!

He had some good lines - said that McCain has been in Iowa and New Hampshire bragging about all he hasn't done for Az..

His wife is very pregnant - so that's good. When he talked about education in our state it had extra meaning.


Oh well - really wanted it to be Dougherty. Now I'm going to work my butt off for Glassman.

Live streaming from his party at a bar in Tucson called "The Maverick"...lol

21. I was disappointed with the Dem turnout too

Maybe it was the McCain / Hayworth race that brought more repubs out.

[jillan]

24. We Dems have our work cut out for ourselves during the next couple of months.

[True_Blue]

27. Yes we do.

I was very disappointed with the Dem turnout, but then I haven't voted in every primary election either. I've always voted in the general elections though. Dougherty was the main reason I voted today.

[sweetloukillbot]

29. Dem's didn't have as much to vote for...

There are like 10 republicans running in most of their races, while most of the Dem races are uncontested - only the state offices have any competition. I'm glad that Kotterman is winning Education Secretary and that idiot Huppental won for the Repugs. Maybe we can improve our schools in the next few years...

13. thank you for the link - its not like the news here is carrying results

[marybourg]

15. AZ Republic closed up and went home at 5. nt

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

14. Giffords has almost twice the total vote of the R's for Dist 8

yaaaah I like her

[jillan]

17. Yay - Tucson - a BLUE city in this red state.

Just may have to move there!

19. i like my dusty little town, makes a good break from here in the land of mold and moss

I put the top down on the mustang yesterday, and saw what was living in the space between the roof and the body ......... oh my

16. Watching cbs now... Looks like Quayle is going to win his seat.

oh great!

[marybourg]

18. Voted for Felecia Rotelini for sentimental reasons-worked with

her years ago-but am surprised that she's winning (at least so far). I thought Lujan had it wrapped up.

[sweetloukillbot]

28. Rotellini got the Republic's endorsement, but I'd be happy with either...

[JonLP24]

30. Lujan is the house member who

missed the 1070 vote but publicly opposed it the whole time.

Fuck him.

I voted for Rotelini and hope she wins.

[DesertFlower]

20. i voted for glassman.

can he win against McCain? i hope so, but this state is still very right wing. McCain spent 51 million for this primary race. he's a desperate old man, but some still like him.

[jillan]

22. I heard on the news that he isn't even worried about this race and plans to spend his time

traveling across the country helping other repugs.

Rodney - the pressure is on!

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

25. the tortuous and the hare might play out

but Rodney is going to need a way more active campaign then he did in the primary

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

23. he moved so far right to win 60/30 can he move to center for the general and get away with it

i would love to see him go away.

[jillan]

26. The National Journal was wondering how far to the left he will go during the General.

Hopefully Rodney will go after McCain on all of his flip-flops.
