Re: Early Open Thread (none / 0)

Special Election in Indiana's 7th District tonight as well. Currently 17 of 445 precincts reporting:

Jon Elrod(R) 52%
Andre Carson(D) 45%
Sean Shephard(L) 3%

Presumably the "(L)" for Shephard mean Libertarian. Could be stripping Elrod's votes away. Fingers crossed.

Know of any polling?

Re: Early Open Thread (none / 0)

No, but it had been held by a Dem previously. It's essentially the Indianapolis metro area.

Aw, shoot.... brain fart.

This is Judy Carson's grandson running to replace her.

Carson is going to win this one.

Too early to call, according to Olbermann, but Obama leads.

Re: Early Open Thread (none / 0)

Polls close at 8 EST -- IIRC, so we should get some results pretty soon.

That should be attached to the Mississippi primary discussion not the Indiana election.

Re: Early Open Thread (none / 0)

Obama's going to win this by a pretty wide margin (no surprise). Our prediction was pretty dead-on per the exit polls.

Re: Early Open Thread (none / 0)

20% reporting and 51/46 Carson/Elrod.

I assume the solid Carson precincts, from the metro area, will report last ... they always do so this looks like a yawner.

But ya never know.

Re: Early Open Thread (none / 0)

Probably so. ManfromMiddletown would have a good idea of it.

Re: Early Open Thread (none / 1)

I haven't had the time to do any research 'On the Ground,' as it were for either election, so take with much salt:

Mississippi: 60/40 Obama/Clinton with the vote being split along color lines.

Indiana: I have no idea

Re: Early Open Thread (none / 1)

That sounds about right on Obama/Clinton. The electability question in exit polling seems to support roughly that outcome:

Most Electable (per Tweety):
Obama 62%
Clinton 38%
