10:06pm: In Rhode Island, in RI-01 with almost half in, it's Cicilline 36, Lynch 22, Gemma 22, Segal 20. And in RI-02 also with almost half in, it's Langevin 56, Dennigan 35.
10:02pm: As for the Dem House primaries in New York, we've got only 1% in in NY-14 but are looking at a blowout, with Maloney beating Saujani 83-17. There's only one precinct reporting in NY-15, with Rangel looking bad at 39% but still winning because of the fractured field.
10:01pm: Briefly back to NH-02: Ann McLane Kuster has been called by the AP as the winner, beating Katrina Swett. Still no call on the GOP side, where Charlie Bass faces Jennifer Horn.
10:00pm: Turning to some GOP House races, in NY-01 with 10% reporting, we have Altschuler at 46, Demos at 31, and Cox at 23. (More egg on the state GOP's face.) With 4% in in NY-23, Doug Hoffman leads Matt Doheny 55-45. (Remember if Doheny loses, he still has the IP line for November.)
9:58pm: Things are actually much tighter in the Senate race, where Joe DioGuardi had looked like the favorite. He leads David Malpass only 42-38, with Bruce Blakeman at 20. Kirsten Gillibrand is having little trouble with her primary challenge from Gail Goode, 77-23, on the D side.
9:56pm: Moving on to the Empire State, where there's finally enough votes to talk about. Maybe the biggest news: with 5% reporting, the teabagger trifecta may in fact be completed tonight: Carl Paladino is dominating Rick Lazio, 78-22. That should diminish, though, as the most precincts of any county have come in from Erie (which has Paladino's home town of Buffalo).
9:55pm: MA-10 has been called on the R side, with up-and-coming baggage-toting state Rep. Jeff Perry beating passe baggage-toting ex-state Treasurer Joe Malone.
9:53pm: Only 4% in in WI-08, but Reid Ribble seems on way to winning the GOP nod. He's at 55, leading Roth at 27 and McCormick at 15. Did the volleyball coaching make all the difference?
9:51pm: With 5% in statewide in WI-Gov, it's not looking as interesting as before. Walker leads Neumann 51-46. No problems for Johnson in WI-Sen, leading Westlake 84-11.
9:48pm: We're up to 325/325 in DE-AL... but no AP call. Glen Urquhart leads 49-48, with about a 500-vote edge.
9:47pm: Things are still happening verrrry slowly in New Hampshire. We're up to 16% reporting in NH-Sen, and it's 46 Lamontagne, 35 Ayotte, 11 Binnie, 7 Bender. Ovide's dominated in the commuter towns along I-93, which is his core area.
9:44pm: And with 3% reporting, it's a little closer in RI-02 than expected: Jim Langevin leads Betsy Dennigan only 53-38.
9:43pm: Also a few numbers from Rhode Island. In RI-01, with about 1% reporting, David Cicilline leads, with David Segal in 2nd, followed by Lynch and Gemma: 41-27-16-16.
9:37pm: We're getting our first Wisconsin dribbles in, and maybe it's too early to talk about it with less than 1% in, but the GOP gube primary is looking interesting: Scott Walker and Mark Neumann are both at 48, with Walker up by only 12 votes.
9:36pm: Hey, did we mention there's a GOP primary for MD-Sen (to go up against Barb Mikulski)? I'd assumed Eric Wargotz, a wealthy county commissioner from the Eastern Shore, had it locked down after Amadore dropped out, but he's only leading the heretofore unknown J. Rutledge 34-32.
9:34pm: And up in Southie, the AP just called MA-09 for Stephen Lynch, who survives his weird anti-HCR gambit. He beats Mac d'Alessandro 64-36.
9:32pm: In case you're wondering about the percentages on some of those Maryland races we glossed over, the GOP gube primary wasn't even close (memo to Brian Murphy: Sarah Palin can't save you now). It was Ehrlich 81, Murphy 19. And in MD-04, it was even more lopsided: Donna Edwards beat state Del. Herman Taylor 81-13.
9:30pm: The gap's closing on the R side in DE-AL. Michelle Rollins only back by about 500 behind Glen Urquhart.
9:28pm: In NH-01, we're up to 25% reporting, and Frank Guinta's lead is getting smaller as places other than Manchester report. He's now at 41, with Rich Ashooh at 30 and Sean Mahoney at 20.
9:20pm: Big shift in MA-10, with Keating pulling into the lead in the Dem primary at 53-47. I'd like to attribute that to him tackling that purse snatcher, but actually it has to do with Norfolk (the county where he's DA) coming him with 79% for him.
9:18pm: The DE DoE leapt to 320/325, with a 53/47 margin. Looks like a done deal.
9:17pm: Anyone wanna guess what those PPP numbers on the Coons/O'Donnell matchup are, that they teased today?
9:16pm: The AP calls it for O'Donnell!!!! (The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!)
9:11pm: Sorry about the slow servers tonight, folks; looks like we're getting a lot of traffic. At any rate, here's a longish update to make up for lost time.
In MD-01, Andy Harris is rolling, 69-31, over Rob Fisher, including 65% on the Eastern Shore (Fisher's turf). In MA-10, it's O'Leary over Keating, 60-40 with 11% reporting, for the Ds, and for the Rs, it's Perry with 69% over Malone. In MA-09, Lynch is in control, at 64%. In NH-01, Guinta leads with 16% in, at 43%. In NH-Sen, Lamontagne leads in every county but one (Coos), over 50%, with only 7% still reporting. One more update from DE-Sen: O'Donnell leads Castle 54-46 with 85% reporting, with a 4000 vote spread.
