8:11 PM: Polls are closed in PA. Waiting for results.
8:19 PM: Thumb twiddling.
8:20 PM: Seems pretty clear that Rand Paul isn’t just winning but absolutely crushing the ill-fated Trey Grayson. I don’t really know enough about Kentucky politics to say what it means. But one reader notes that there are substantially more people voting in the Kentucky Democratic primary than on the Republican side. Conway is ahead now 48% to 40% over Mongiardo with about half the vote in.
8:26 PM: The Tea Party candidate (Todd Lally) has apparently beaten the NRCC’s chosen Republican (Jeffrey Reetz) in the KY-3 primary to face John Yarmouth.
8:30 PM: We’ll know soon enough but sounding like rain in Philly may really have done Specter in PA. Of course, it’ll have to be pretty close for that to have mattered.
8:32 PM: On higher Dem turnout in Kentucky, I was wondering whether registrations might still lean Dem in Kentucky, despite the state now being a strong Republican state. Apparently that’s what it is, according to Chuck Todd.
8:34 PM: Starting to get the first trickle of returns out on Pennsylvania. Watch them with me at the top of our election scoreboard, just below the feature over on the right column of the site.
