48% of polled already voted and Jolly has 10 point lead with them. It's going to be extremely difficult to overcome that but there is a chance. Good thing there's still the regular primary and general election. Seems like Bircher has a lot of momentum for that election.

100% reporting:

David Jolly	20,337	44.6%
Kathleen Peters	14,120	31.0%
Mark Bircher	11,158	24.5%

Bircher's late entrance into the race really affected him as early voting went Jolly 44, Peters 33 and Bircher 23. Early voting accounted for probably half the votes.

Will he be running in the August Primary? Does anyone know yet? If he runs again, he needs a new game plan. It is very hard to win through media and mail. He has a great bio, I hope he runs again some time and wins. I know it is depressing to lose races, but we can't give up.

This race just ended minutes ago. I doubt he'll make plans for the August primary today. I would think he'll wait until after the Special General Election to make an announcement.

I would tend to agree, but I saw talk about it weeks ago, that's why I asked.

Jolly is running for Senate.

I have been tipped off that Bircher is going to be running again.

He is running again with Jolly running for Senate:
