Primary Night

Miller and Hayworth are not expected to win, but we can hope. Results at top of page.

And if you're an Arizona resident, yeah, pull the lever for Hayworth. You're not electing a flight commander, you're electing a Senator.

And definitely pull for Miller and pull hard. Then go get your kids, dress them up in Groucho glasses and mustaches, fake them up some ID and have them vote seven or eight times too. No one checks; it's the Democratic way!

Some stuff at Hot Air.

Below, John McCain shows how he won another Republican Primary despite being a closet Democrat (and a closet Democrat in much the same way Liberace was a closet pianist).

Video funny thanks to rdbrewer.

Florida, Florida, Florida: McCollum and Scott neck-and-neck for gubernatorial nomination, and a ridiculously close three-way race in FL-24.

Meeks won, so that's good for Rubio.

Bang...? Oh dear. Jim Geraghty writes on Twitter:

In the Fla. GOP Senate primary in Florida,787K votes cast; in the Dem primary, 489K votes cast.

Now, the GOP Senate race was all but uncontested. (A pair of not-very-serious candidates will collect 15% between them.)

And the Dem Senate race was contested.

There is a big contested gubernatorial race at the top of the ballot, so that brings out the GOP, but... okay, fine, so both parties had a reason to vote in the primaries; why does the GOP enjoy a nearly 45% edge in turnout in a 50/50 state?

Neck and Neck and Neck: FL-24 GOP Primary: 88% reporting Adams 31 Diebel 29 MIller 27. Nathan Wurzel.
