Political Roundup for May 9th, 2018…Yesterdays Primary Results…RRH Elections…

May 9, 2018 By jamesb

Election Results:

Indiana: Ex-State Rep. Mike Braun (R) won IN-Sen (R), Mel Hall (D) won IN-2 (D), State Rep. Jim Baird (R) won IN-4 (R), Greg Pence (R) won IN-6 (R) and Liz Watson (D) won IN-9 (D).

North Carolina: Linda Coleman (D) won NC-2 (D), Rep. Walter Jones (R) won NC-3 (R), Mark Harris (R) unseated Rep. Robert Pittenger in NC-9 (R), and Kathy Manning won NC-13 (D). 

Ohio: Richard Cordray (D) and Mike DeWine (R) easily won for OH-Gov, Rep. Jim Renacci (R) won OH-Sen (R), Danny O’Connor won for OH-12 (D), and State Sen. Troy Balderson (R) narrowly edged out Melanie Leneghan for OH-12 (R) (both candidates won for both the August special election and the November general). Anthony Gonzalez (R) won for OH-16 (R), and state Rep. Robert Sprague (R) won for OH-Treas (R).

West Virginia: In perhaps the most-watched race of the night, AG Patrick Morrisey (R) won the WV-Sen (R) nomination 35-29% over Rep. Evan Jenkins (R) with Don Blankenship (R) finishing well behind in 3rd at 20% despite reports of polling over the weekend showing him surging into the lead. Kendra Fershee in WV-1 (D), and Talley Sergent (D) in WV-2 (D) both defeated favored, establishment opponents. Unsurprisingly, State Sen. Richard Ojeda (D) won WV-3 (D), while State Del. Carol Miller (R) prevailed by 4 points in a WV-3 (R) race that was close between 3 candidates throughout most of the evening….

    If I still lived in Charlotte, I may have lived in Pittenger’s Congressional district. I don’t know for sure by just looking at the non-detailed map. I lived in South Charlotte and parts of that area were in his district and parts were not.

      This may be one North Carolina district to flip in November. The GOP nominated a crazy last night. His second time around. I expect more of this as we move through the primary season.

      George Will wrote an interesting article today….
      “Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America’s most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today’s lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year’s elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing.”

      “There will be negligible legislating by the next Congress, so ballots cast this November will be most important as validations or repudiations of the harmonizing voices of Trump, Pence, Arpaio and the like. Trump is what he is, a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic. Pence is what he has chosen to be, which is horrifying.”
