re: RESULTS ALL IN -Tuesday, Sept. 9th, Primaries Thread ( NY, DE, RI, MA & NH)

Significant numbers are coming in for NH, and very early returns starting to come in for MA and RI.

In NH:

(All Republican primaries, as the 4 Dem incumbents are unchallenged)

U.S. Senate: 23% of precincts in

Scott Brown - 49.3%
Jim Rubens - 23.4%
Bob Smith - 23.2%


Governor (24% in):

Walt Havenstein - 56.5%
Andrew Hemingway - 37.2%

Congress, 1st CD (27% counted):

Frank Guinta- 49.5%
Dan Innis - 41.0%


Congress, 2nd CD (21% counted):

Marilinda Garcia - 50.6%
Gary Lambert - 26.4%
Jim Lawrence - 18.1%


To everyone's surprise up here, the favorites (as in strongest opponents for the general election) are leading comfortably at this point. I'll be one pleased Republican if all 4 races are won by those currently leading. Thanks, NH GOP !

-----------------

In the Delaware GOP primary to oppose incumbent Dem Sen. Chris Coons in November, favorite Wade leads Smink 76-24 with 44% of the vote counted and has been declared the winner.

That being the only significant race in Delaware, that state is closed out for the evening.
