Just to let you know we’ve got live election results coming soon from what have unquestionably been two of the most entertaining state primaries this season.
At 8 PM we’ll be bringing you live results from Florida where there are hot and fairly crazy races for nominations for Senate and Governor. In the Democratic primary, Kendrick Meek leads gazillionaire yachtsman Jeff Greene in the race to see who can be the Democratic nominee and sit on the sidelines as Charlie Crist runs the race as the de facto Democratic nominee. On the GOP side, longtime GOP officeholder Bill McCollum tries to get his dignity back from upstart moneybags Rick Scott.
And then at 10 PM it’s Arizona where there’s been a lot of suspense over just how big a margin J.D. Hayworth is going to get his butt beaten by John McCain. Finally, there’s the Republican primary in Arizona’s 3rd district. That’s the battle to see who gets the nomination to succeed Rep. John Shadegg (R). In truth, we have no idea who’s going to win that one because there haven’t been any public polls. But Dan Quayle’s son Rufus Ben Quayle is in this race going up against a bunch of other GOPers to get this nomination because it brings with it a virtual certainty of getting elected in November. This race, among other things, has been a stand-out for totally over the top ads, a few of which you can see here.
Then of course there’s Alaska, which closes at midnight eastern.
