List of NC Senate races with a contested primary.
List of NC House races with a constested primary.
More below the fold.
I'm going to stop updating for a while - the races I've got here look to be done, and several sources are calling Morgan/Boylan for the latter. More later.
Here are a few of the races I'm really interested in today.
- Taylor/Armor in NC-11—Armor won't win, but how much he loses by will be among the tea leaves we'll be reading going in to November.
8:55 - 4,078/1,257 Taylor
9:15 - 4,462/1,341 Taylor
9:25 - 7,170/2,020 Taylor
9:30 - 8,051/2,121 Taylor
10:00 - 15,571/3,854 Taylor
10:10 - 17,665/4,557 Taylor (20%+ for Armor) - Rhodes/Tillis in House 98 (Mecklenburg) has generated a lot of talk and pits the most outspoken conservative in the NCGA (and least effective legislator) against a pro-business moderate Republican. The wingnut is the incumbent.
- Boylan/Morgan in the 52nd (House) will be one of the biggest events this year in the ongoing battle between the doctrinaire (Pope/Cobey) wing of the NCGOP and the "let's try governing" (Morgan) faction.
- Mintz/Harrell in House 41 pits a faux Democrat against a real Democrat.
10:00 - 1,539/493Harrell - Purgason/Foriest fighting for the chance to be my State Senator—it's touching. Senate 24 (I'm pulling for Foriest).
9:00 - 146/20 Foriest
10:00 - 1,691/507 Foriest - Senate 31—will we have Nate Tabor to kick around after tonight?
- Blust/Garwood (in Senate 45) has been a "who's a real conservative" western showdown.
9:05 - 4,034/3,219 Blust
9:15 - 4,841/3,922 Blust
Which ones y'all watchin'?

The Puppetmaster wins
Morgan goes down to Pope's handpicked stooge. The New and Improved Puppetshow!
52 to 48.
It's amazing what a little money can do to an election.
Where did you see that?
The SBOE site is still showing zeros.
Doug Jones, Buncombe, House 116
At 10:04 Doug is barely leading 169 to 154. Don't know who Jim Hughes is, but Doug's YD group won a national award recently . . . And he's started up several YD groups all around the 11th. Doug's very well liked so the contest is somewhat of a what's-going-on-behind-the-scenes mystery.
That Armor's pulling a full 1/5th of the vote seems significant
I mean, you'd think the 11th would be eager to keep such a porkmaster.

Anglico..if it makes you feel better
Blust is a Pope boy...he was the administrator/trustee...whatever of Pope's 527 a few years back. I figure he's near and dear to old Art.
