I hope Palin feels very dirty.

Here's an article today about the neocons (that includes you, Palin...) funding the opposition:

As you posted this, the state website only had 60% reported.

So how did POLITICO get the numbers first?

[juleswin]

NC website shows Griffin winning

[William Tell]

AP has more votes in than the NC site

The Emergency Committee for Israel spent 500k against Jones and 500k supporting Griffin, per OpenSecrets.

[William R]

Jones has been declared winner.

[William Tell]

AP called it for Walter Jones!

[sluggo]

Nice!

Good news on a very sad night.

[devil21]

Thank god for that. A couple other liberty folks won or made it to runoffs in NC too so it's not a total loss.

[Warlord]

Go Walter

[Badger Paul]

Another solid win for Jones against the neocons and other assorted reptiles.

[RandallFan]

Walter Jones is the only one who will definitely win in November. I think it was the biggest general election winner in NC in 2012. I know his district is red but the others were in closer races.

I wouldn't rule out a third party or some people voting Democrat just to punish really bad establishment candidates. Im glad McIntyre won in 2012.

[jurgs01]

Thank god for that. A couple other liberty folks won or made it to runoffs in NC too so it's not a total loss.

I give NC a B- for this primary:
Walter Jones and Vince Coakley won their primaries for Congress. Mark Walker looks headed to a runoff.
Mattie Lawson, Larry Pittman, and Mike Clampitt won their State House races.
Paul Wright, Johnathan Jordan, Michael Speciale, Molotov Mitchell, and Richard Rivette all were uncontested and get to move on.
No primary losses of liberty candidates or fellow travelers in NC, and a lot of chances for pickups. Homeruns are great, but singles and sacrifice bunts win games. Keep fighting for liberty!

Indiana did okay too.

Ohio just tanked. I couldn't find a single liberty candidate or fellow traveler.
