Hayworth Won't Concede

This might seem a little out of place, but alas it's true. Senator John McCain destroyed former Congressman JD Hayworth in Tuesday's primaries, yet it appears that Hayworth still will not concede the race. The race was particularly long and nasty, with both sides injecting personal barbs. However, this appears to be one of the weirder parts of the fight.

Sanders told POLITICO Hayworth had no plans of calling McCain. A message seeking an explanation on why was not immediately returned.

According to the article Hayworth would not concede after he lost the 2006 race to a Democrat. So do you believe that Hayworth should or will concede? What would you do in this situation?

Miller's Lead Shrinks in AK Race

It appears that Joe Miller's victory may not be as secure as previously believed, as our own Mr. K pointed out. With more votes being counted his thin margin of victory appears to be shrinking-- and that's before 16,000 military and absentee ballots are counted. Still, it looks a little bit better for the Murkowski folks. The vote count has shifted by over 500 so far:

Miller was leading with 47,027 votes to 45,359 for Murkowski after the final precinct results came in late Wednesday afternoon. More than 16,000 absentees were requested from the Division of Elections and about 7,600 of them have come back so far.

So it looks like this could get more interesting-- keep your eyes peeled on this race. It looks like those 7,600 votes may create a Coleman-Franken style recount for us.

Primary Mania Predictions - August 24, 2010.

For the latest results, please visit our other Primary Mania article.

Today is Primary Mania in the United States of America, especially in Republican precincts, and as such, I decided to compile a list of the more interesting battles that are unfolding across the United States today, and offer my personal predictions. Please feel free to comment, and if you reside in any of the Primary states - Alaska, Arizona, and Florida - please get out there and vote.

Alaska's Senatorial Republican Primary

Senator Lisa Murkowski will defeat Joe Miller, who is backed by Sarah Palin and Tea Party groups by a 60-40% margin. Closer than expected, but a Murkowski win nonetheless, and a clear case of Palin backstabbing (she originally supported Murkowski last year).

Arizona's Senatorial Republican Primary

Senator John McCain will defeat Congressman JD Hayworth by a 70-25% margin, with a third lesser known candidate receiving the rest. Both have received the endorsement of Conservative individuals and organizations in Arizona, but Tea Partiers have mostly stayed out of the Primary.

Arizona's 3rd Congressional Repblican Primary

Will the Republican voters of Arizona's 3rd congressional district support attorney Ben Quayle, State Senator Pamela Gorman, or Paradise Valley Mayor, Vernon Parker? I personally have no idea who will win today, but I'm doubtful it will be the son of Vice-President Quayle, as a sex scandal has embroiled his campaign.

Florida's Gubernatorial Republican Primary

This Primary battle is nasty. Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum and Businessman Rick Scott have been tearing at one-another for the past few weeks via television advertisements. I support the Attorney General due to his very conservative record, and according to a recent poll of close to 800 Republicans: 39% (a plurality) of GOP voters do as well. But this race is up in the air.

Any thoughts?

McCain May Destroy Hayworth on Tuesday

 Tuesday will mark the end to one of the most drawn out and publicized races in the country this year. Former Congressman JD Hayworth has challenged incumbent Senator John McCain for the Arizona Senate seat. Hayworth pulled close with some polls showing him just 5-7% behind. Hayworth also flooded the media and internet with advertising and interviews. Hayworth is predicting a big win, but polling shows McCain winning easily:


McCain*: 64%
Hayworth: 19
Und/other: 17%
* Denotes incumbent

Even if all of the undecided and Deakin voters swing to Hayworth he still loses almost 2-1. Hayworth is a fool and has been since he launched his campaign. Voters took a serious look at him and fled him quicker than the supposed "RINO" McCain.

Dino Rossi slaughters Clint Didier in Washington Primary.

Washington State held their unusual Primary vote yesterday, one in which all of the Democratic, Republican, and Independent candidates square off against one-another in a top 2 primary, and the candidates, regardless of political affiliation, who have the two highest vote totals when the day is over, will face off in November.

The results were not good for either Senator Murray or Clint Didier:

Patty Murray (D) - 433,211 - 46.04%
Dino Rossi (R) - 319,708 - 33.98%.
Clint Didier (R) - 112,774 - 11.99%.
Paul Akers (R) - 23,889 - 2.54%.
Charles Allen (D) - 7,973 - 0.85%.

Ouch.

Dino Rossi, the mainstream Republican candidate in the Primary defeated Mr.Didier, who can only be kindly described as Libertarian, by a margin of over 200,000 votes. Obviously Sarah's power (Mrs.Palin endorsed Didier over Rossi) doesn't have a significant impact with the voters of Washington State.

However, the results were even worse for Senator Pat Murray, as not even 50% of all voters in the State of Washington supported her in a Primary dominated by Republican infighting. And when you breakdown the results by political affiliation, Republicans are no longer the minority party in a certain deep blue state.

Republican Party (6 candidates) - 496,364 - 49.89%
Democratic Party (5 candidates) - 456,290 - 48.50%
Independents/Other (4 candidates) - 15,236 - 1.62%

I'm hopeful that Dino Rossi can unite all 496,364 Washington State voters who supported one of six Republican Party candidates behind his crucial Senatorial campaign, and that his campaign will add even more voters by November, in what is one of the most important races of 2010.

Malloy Beats Lamont in CT

Ned Lamont, the netroots millionaire who took on Senator Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Senate race four years ago has lost another pivotal battle in his attempt at a political career. With 96% of the precincts in Lamont lost to Dan Malloy by 16%:

Malloy: 58%
Lamont: 42%

This was despite Lamont putting massive amounts of cash in and running as a "moderate" despite running as a raging leftist in 2006. Malloy isn't too much better, but he isn't as much of a tool as Lamont.

South Carolina Republican Primary Results.

Authors' note - Red stands for the winner, Blue stands for the loser.

What an amazing night to be a Conservative Republican in South Carolina:

Gubernatorial Primary - 41 of 46 counties reporting.

Nikki Haley - 212,715 - 64.64%
Gresham Barrett - 116,353 - 35.36%.

1st District House Primary - 5 of 5 counties reporting.

Tim Scott - 46,885 - 68.35%.
Paul Thurmond - 21,706 - 31.65%.

3rd District House Primary - 10 of 10 counties reporting.

Jeff Duncan - 37,300 - 51.50% of the vote.
Richard Cash - 35,129 - 48.50% of the vote.

4th District House Primary - 3 of 4 counties reporting.

Trey Gowdy - 31,110 - 63.97% of the vote.
Rep. Bob Inglis - 17,519 - 36.03% of the vote.

Nikki Haley is on her way to becoming the first female Indian-(from India)-American Governor in United States history, as well as South Carolina's first female Governor in history. And Black Republican Tim Scott defeated the son of a well known segregationist this evening, and is expected to become the first Black Republican Congressman since JC Watts in 2002.

The above mentioned victors are only the first to be announced this evening, however, both represent a new brand of Republicans in the United States; a brand that should be watched with great attention over the next several years.

Also: If Inglis is defeated, he'll become only the second US Congressmen to be kicked out of the House of Representatives this electoral cycle, and just the first Republican.

Update: Representative Bob Inglis has been defeated in his Primary against Trey Gowdy, and becomes only the second US Congressman to be defeated this electoral cycle; the first to be an elected Republican - Conservatism is on the rise my friends, in all Parties.

Is Obama screwed for 2012?

The 2008 United States Presidential Election went like this:

Florida

Obama - 4,282,074 - 50.92% - 27 Electoral Votes.
McCain - 4,045,624 - 48.10% - 0 Electoral Votes.

A recent June 2010 Quinnipiac Poll sampling of 1,133 Floridians:

Obama Job Performance

Disapprove - 54% - 91% of GOP, 50% of Ind, and 14% of Dem.
Approve - 40% - 81% of Dem, 43% of Ind, and 6% of GOP.

President Barack Obama won Florida with a cushion of just 236,000 votes, or by a margin of 1.8 percentage points. And now a recent poll from a respectable polling firm has his numbers in one of the most important states at 40%. For someone who faces the voters again in 29 months; a 40% approval rating is a bad sign of worse things to come.

Imagine if these polling numbers reflect voters from across the Nation? Obama won the state of North Carolina by 14,000 votes; the state of Indiana by 29,000 votes; the state of Nevada by 120,000 votes; the state of Iowa by 140,000 voters; the state of Virginia by 230,00 votes; the state of Ohio by 260,000 votes; and he lost in Missouri by only 4,000 votes.

Losing 10% support in all of the above mentioned states would cause such a overturn of voters that it might not matter who Republicans select to be their Presidential nominee; just as long as a Republican is on the ballot. Period.

Memo to all perspective candidates for the Republican Nomination: All you need to do to win the 2012 Presidential Election is to flip about 1,056,000 votes in the seven above mentioned states, which in turn will result in 98 Electoral Votes going into our column, leaving us the victors in 2012.

Primary Preview - June 8, 2010.

Millions of Republican voters will be selecting their candidates of choice this morning, afternoon and evening across the entire Nation. Close to a dozen states will be holding primaries today, but all political eyes will be on Arkansas, California, and Nevada; as interesting Senatorial races on both sides of the aisle will be resolved by midnight tonight.

Arkansas

Arkansas Democrats will have to choose between Senator Blanche Lincoln and Lt. Governor Bill Halter today; possibly redefining Arkansas politics. While Lt. Governor Halter is a dedicated Left-Of-Center-MoveOn.Org-fellow, Senator Lincoln is within the Arkansas Conservative Democrat mainstream.

But it really doesn't matter who Arkansas Democrats select this evening, because the Republican nominee; Congressman Boozman, leads both Halter and Lincoln by double digits in the polls. Plus Arkansas is thirsting Conservatism, and two Democratic hacks competing to be down-the-line liberals doesn't appeal to that thirst.

California

As I wrote yesterday morning: Republicans in California have to choose between electability or viability, and political purity. Do we want to win in November, or do we want to select the most Right-Of-Center nominee for November? In California you cannot have both; which is the reason why I support Whitman and Fiorina.

Democrats will also be choosing their candidate for United States Senate this afternoon; either Senator Boxer, or Mickey Kaus (blogger). This isn't actually a Liberal v. Conservative Democrat contest like it is in Arkansas or like it was in West Virginia, but the race does ask this of Left-Of-Center voters: Will they support a candidate who opposes the unions and illegal immigration in California?

Nevada

Senator Reid is on Republican and Tea Party political hit-lists, but Republicans support their former statewide Chairman; Sue Lowden, and Tea Partiers support a current Nevada state representative; Sharron Angle for the Nomination to face off against Reid. Causing problems through out the political foundations of the state.

While Ms.Lowden is almost guaranteed to defeat Senator Reid in November; the same cannot be said about Ms.Angle, who doesn't have a wink of statewide political experience, and who will be portrayed as a Libertarian nutjob too extreme for Nevada voters. With the facts and Ried's possible political ploys in mind, and with a thoughtful consideration of Ms.Lowden's Conservatism; only one candidate is worthy, and that's Sue Lowden. Period.

Other Races

Besides for the big three races tonight; political wizkids should keep an eye on the South Carolina Republican Primary, on whom North Dakota Republicans select to face off against Congressman Pomeroy, and on whether or not Republicans in Virginia's 8th district select Matthew Berry to be their nominee against Congressman Moran in November.

California Primary, Mark Levin and BP.

I once again have too many topics to write about than time to spare this morning. This is starting to become an annoying trend for me, and I highly dislike it. However, a blogger has to do what a blogger has to do; I agreed to write on this blog over 18 months ago, and I've never looked back.

California Primary

California Republicans and Democrats will be selecting their candidates of choice tomorrow afternoon and evening in the Golden State; as political viability vs. political purity will be the choice that almost every Republican voter will have to make. It is an unfortunate circumstance, but California is a deep blue state and when it comes to selecting their Republican nominee's, viability means a whole lot more than purity.

With the above mentioned in mind, Conservative Republicans must support Meg Whitman as our Gubernatorial Nominee, and Carly Fiorina as our Senatorial Nominee. While I'm sure Meg Whitman will be defeated without question in November, Ms.Fiorina can defeat Senator "Don't Call me Ma'am" Boxer in the ballot box, and wasting a vote on Chuck DeVore will lead to Tom Campbell; an anti-semite, becoming our Nominee.

As for Democrats: Your last chance to vote for a non-100% liberal hack is tomorrow afternoon; Mickey Kaus is a 90% liberal hack. Why is it your last chance? Because I doubt somewhat Right-Of-Left-Democrats will exist in 6 years in California.

Mark Levin

I purchased Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny last week and I found myself unimpressed. The book is nothing new; it's a statement of what Conservatives believe in. We don't need a book that tells us what we believe in; we already know what we believe in! What we need is a viable game plan for November and 2012.

I would advise you to purchase Mark Steyn's America Alone: The End of the World as We Know it; instead of Mark Levin's restatement of previously known ideas and ideals, because Conservatives should spend their money learning something important, not revisiting something we already know.

Batting Practice

You're not gonna believe this: The Brevard County Manatees (a Single-A farm team for the Milwaukee Brewers) are renaming Batting Practice; Hitting Rehearsal. Why? Well, because Batting Practice, or "BP" is such an unpopular term in American culture (especially in Florida) that the team is changing the term to show that they care.

GOODNESS! There are just sometimes when I just don't understand Minor League Baseball teams; such as when a Minnesota Minor League baseball team released Larry Craig wide stance bobble head dolls. One thing is for sure: The most creative and interesting advertising gimmicks come out Minor League Baseball.

Also; being a former youth baseball player, I will never use the term "Hitting Rehearsal" or "HR" when playing in or watching a baseball game. I can absolutely promise that.

What The Hell is Going on In South Carolina?

All hell appears to be breaking loose in the South Carolina Republican primary, with everyone ganging up on Nikki Haley, the front-runner in the race. Haley, who was endorsed by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, is either a big flirt or the victim of a vicious smear campaign. First, she's been claimed to have had an affair with a blogger, of all people. Next, Haley, of East Indian descent, was called a "raghead" by a fellow Republican. Now there's another claim of a tryst.

"I did not have any intention of going public," Marchant said. "I kept getting calls from different people. I just felt like I owed Andre to disclose it to him. I did not do it until two days after I disclosed it to my wife." 

Marchant said part of the reason he came forward was Haley's categorical denial last week of being unfaithful to her husband. 

"It just gnawed at me to the point I had to confide in my wife and then we both made a joint decision that I was not going to push the issue but that if I was confronted, I was not going to lie about it," Marchant said. 

"It was not an affair. It was just one time," Marchant said. "It was one of those things that happened. ... We just had a one-night indiscretion." 

The one thing that Marchant's claim has is that he apparently had to 'admit' to his wife any wrongdoing. This is starting to get weird. Without evidence, there is nothing to damn Mrs. Haley with, but allegations of this magnitude should come with not only more questions but more proof.

Halter Ahead in Runoff

 Arkansas Lt. Governor Bill Halter has jumped to a three point lead over incumbent Senator Blanche Lincoln in a poll conducted by Reasearch 2000 (but set up by the Daily Kos). Kos polls tend to be a bit off and give misleading questions, but the results here may be accurate due to the fact that it's a poll of Democratic primary voters.

According to the poll, the most leftist Halter beats the centrist for the nomination:

Halter: 47%
Lincoln: 44%

The poll also says that Halter would lose by less to Republican nominee John Boozman. I tend to think that indies will run away from Halter once they hear what he has to say.

Military man defeated in Idaho Primary.

It's true that Vaughn Ward stumbled towards the end of a long-hard fought Primary, which Raul Labrador (Republicans can't win the Hispanic vote?) won with close to 50% of the vote. But this is not just another loss for the Establishment GOP (Ward's a lifelong soldier, Labrador is a State legislator, how is Ward the Establishment?), it's another loss for the Military candidate.

In the year of the Tea Party: Veterans, Military men, and those who support National Defense have been targeted across the Nation, and a good number have been defeated. Senator Bennett was shoved out in Utah, Trey Grayson was defeated in Kentucky, Vaughn Ward was ambushed in Idaho, and Isolationists have won across the political spectrum.

I'm not accusing Raul Labrador of being against the United States Military, our Wars or other National Defense related issues, but his record of accomplishment doesn't come within a dozen miles of Vaughn Ward. Ward is a United States Marine who served his Nation for over a decade - whether it be regular duty overseas, joining the CIA or fighting in Afghanistan.

The Halls of Congress would have been better off with Vaughn Ward; a real American hero and Patriot. It's a shame the Republican voters of Idaho's 1st congressional district disagreed. But, I wouldn't want it any other way than the Republican voters deciding in the ballot boxes.

On a sidenote: 81,220 Republicans voted in yesterday's Primary election. That's about 45% of all Republican votes received in 2008; our base is energized, our movement is ready, and we should be able to recapture this Conservative district once and for all in November. As long as the "Tea Partiers" don't screw things up.

Idaho Republican Primaries Tomorrow.

Idaho Republicans will be heading to the polls tomorrow afternoon; mostly to vote for successful Conservative Republican incumbents who deserve reelection. And besides for a tough battle in Idaho's 1st congressional district; where a Republican challenger to Congressman Walt Minnick will finally be selected, the Idaho Primaries should be uninteresting and boring.

I do have one personal appeal involving tomorrow's Idaho Primaries: Please support Vaughn Ward for the Republican Nomination in Idaho's 1st congressional district, he was a damn fine soldier in our Armed Forces, and he'll be a damn fine legislator in Congress.

Gubernatorial - Governor Butch Otter.
Senatorial - Senator Mike Crapo.
1st congressional - Vaughn Ward.
2nd congressional - Congressman Simpson.

Primary Day Review - May 18, 2010.

For all Conservative minded individuals; yesterday was pure hell watching the Pennsylvania and Kentucky Primaries, along with that special election in Pennsylvania's 12th district, which in the end proves that voters are still naive. There was little good news, but much heartache:

Kentucky

Rand Paul; the son of Congressman Ron Paul, whom I despise with a passion, defeated the Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson by 80,000 votes last night, receiving the GOP Nomination on a campaign that ran against the GOP platform on National Defense, and on Libertarian beliefs. This nomination will only help the Democrat candidate in November.

I would rather lose this seat in November, than to see this Isolationist dirtbag in Congress, or anywhere near there.

Pennsylvania

Pat Toomey had one definite path to victory: Senator Arlen Specter winning the Democratic Nomination. But that didn't happen last night - Congressman Sestak received the nomination without much problem, and the electoral chances of Pat Toomey are complicated for this November.

Pat Toomey will do a fine job campaigning against Joe Sestak, and with Senator Specter no longer in contention, the Republican vote should go to Toomey's campaign without problem, however, without having the "flip flopping" king of Pennsylvania as his opponent, things will become difficult.

Pennsylvania's 12th district

Mark Critz (D) - 71,684 - 53.4%
Tim Burns (R) - 59,476 - 44.3%
Demo Agoris (L) - 3,142 - 2.3%

Must I say more? Like Doug Hoffman, David Harmer, and James Tedisco before him, Tim Burns has lost with the complete backing of Conservative blogs and organizations. Momentum might be behind Republicans, but I just don't see it yet, especially in a district that John McCain won with ease in 2008.

Arkansas

Good news: Neither Senator Lincoln nor Lt. Governor Bill Halter received enough votes for the Democrat nomination last evening. Forcing the Democratic dogfight to continue for at least a few more weeks.

Great news: Congressman John Boozman was selected as the Republican Nominee with 53% of the vote. He's performing well against both his potential Democratic opponents in general election polls. For Arkansas Republicans this is excellent news, and should be celebrated.

Overall

Kentucky - We're screwed.
Pennsylvania - Tough general election upcoming.
Pennsylvania 12 - Naive Democratic addicts.
Arkansas - Good and Great news.
