How are you voting in Primaries this year?
« on: July 18, 2010, 11:04:45 AM »
Since so much momentum seems to be going into this election, it's made me curious how many here will be voting against their incumbent in the primary.

My Representative (Hoekstra) is giving his seat up this year in a bid for the Michigan Governer spot, and those running for his seat are relative nobodies.

How bout the rest of you?

Edit:  Will someone bump this to the Election forum?

Mitt Romney endorsed Bill Haslam... I suppose that means I'll be voting for Ron Ramsey instead.  It's a tight race.

No senate election here this year.  I'll be voting for my incumbent Congress critter (Marsha Blackburn).

I've got a DUmbass Senator and a DUmbass Congress-shit to replace this mid-term.  I'm writing in Atilla the Hun because all the DUmbasses' opponents are just as infected with progressivism - Dim'Rats and ReThugs alike - as the DUmbasses are.

Texas had its primary back in March. Voted for Hutchison for Gov and incumbent Mike Burgess for Rep.

November general will be Perry and Burgess.

No Senate elections this year.

I'm voting for Sharron Angle.  Need to get Harry Reid out of Washington.

No Senate race.

Will vote the (R) even though our (D) rep's voted against BO most of the time and on the BIG issues.  He may have been released by Pelosi?  Or he's a DINO?  Good guy, but, it's more about taking Pelosi's hammer away.

Not much going on here in Nebraska.

No national elections other than for three congressmen, all (R)s, although the Democrats in Omaha are trying to steal one, registering voters at the Mexican consulate and the city cemeteries.

The governor's race was going to be between the incumbent (R) and the (D) who won the Democrat primary last May, but now it's just the (R) in the race.  The (D) had to drop out, because his lying was more than even the Democrats could take.

Naturally, I'm hoping all of our incumbents win.

I'm reasonably satisfied with my Rep, though she has a couple of challengers and one of them is a bit closer to some of my own issues on the ag side (USDA's animal identification program, which has raised a lot of Libertarian hackles), so I'm looking at him too.

On the Senate side, it's wide open, the incumbent is retiring.

I'm not voting for McCain, but he's probably going to sew up the nomination.  But I figure if enough of us registered Republicans display our dissatisfaction with his dithering and caving to the left on critical issues like illegals crossing our borders, maybe he'll hit Cindy up for enough money to buy a frakking clue about what he should do to represent us, instead of his lib buddies and Mexico.

There's only one Republican worth a vote, on the national stage, in my local primaries--COL (R) Chris Gibson for NY-20.

There will be some (?) conservatives not getting my vote as they did in the past.

Andrew Cuomo is visiting today, right around the corner from where I work.  A teaparty broke out in front of the building.   :-)
