Polls are closed. Returns are coming in.
What do you think?
In urban areas, so far, it seems the night belongs to Casey. It is the rural areas where there is a fight. But, the night is still young. Moore is beating Reddy at this stage.
—-
Casey is doing well so far in Cobb County — very well. He’s also leading in Fulton.
—-
Has the constant punching in Ralph’s face paid off? Casey’s won freaking Pulaski County, folks!
—
Please your bets. Will there be a runoff for the Dem’s Governor race?
—–
Don’t look now, but Konop is getting slaughtered by Price? What was that about Price being so nervous he had to run ads?

I don’t see how Ralph can pull this out. I think we’ve got Lt. Gov. Cagle. Someone better put some cinderblocks on Joel’s head.

Looks like Cox and Taylor is going to be very tight.
Cagle is looking strong though I am not sure where Reed’s strength is. There doesn’t seem to be a big difference between rural and metro Atlanta counties so far in the returns.
I thought Reed would be stronger in South Georgia, doesn’t look like that is the case. If Cagle can continue to win Metro ATL then he has it.
Reed is starting to come back in rural areas
I guess Reddy made a mistake by not having a campaign rap.
At least they started pronouncing it “SHAM” rather than “SHY-AM”
Is there a mistake in the numbers from Columbia County? I thought that was a heavy Republican area.
Reed isnt looking too good right now. Cagle is showing right now just how much he has been on the rise….There is still a ways to go.
63% reporting from Cobb –
Cagle – 11,263
Reed – 8,949
Cagle total – 24,856
Reed total – 20,175
still a long ways to go, guys
cagle pulling ahead in fulton
Cagle People are celebrating down here at the Gwinnett Arena!!!!!!!
FWIW, I’m liveblogging from the Cagle party: http://rjhatl.livejournal.com/
Um, where is Debbie when we need her?
TOTALLY OFF TOPIC:
Guys, I mean this with all my heart. We have been fighting and fussing with eachother for months now. I say, sometime next week after we’ve had time to cool down, we all go out and get knee-walking, moon-howling, commode-hugging drunk. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents, hell, even the Social Workers Party folks. Let’s get so trashed that we don’t even remember who ANY of the candidates are. Who’s up for it?
I hope whatever happens at the end of these races that people win with dignity and they lose with dignity……Theres been alot of smack talk going down but hey thats the nature of the game. Just gotta let it go one way or the other.
I’m in Jace…great idea! I’ll talk with Eric about getting together a PeachPundit night at a local bar.
Okay, I’m following Farris, and now rjhatl. Does anyone know of a live blogg at the Reed camp?
uh, dignan and jace, i’m halfway there already
From what Ive been hearing…Cagle should dominate Bibb county. Im curious to see how that goes once they come in
I would love to see the Dems go into a runoff. Sonny can just sit back with his 11 million and laugh.
My bet is on Cathy Cox to win.
GAWire,
LOL!
I’m really surprised at how well Cagle is showing this early on. It will be interesting to see what Gwinnett’s numbers look like once they start coming in (and where are they?). If Cagle stays close to Ralph in Gwinnett (or better), it could be a bad night for Reed.
I’m also surprised at how close the Rep. SOS race is at this point.
i think taylor, but I’m not calling it yet
gwinn and fulton will determine the LG winner
So what are the GA primary rules. Do you have to get 50% to avoid a runoff or some lesser amount.
Don’t forget to factor in Hall County, which should produce a lot of votes for Cagle.
I am pretty certain that you have to break 50%.
Early numbers in Gwinnett have Casey on top.
LINDA,
You are correct.
Debbie,
Can we start talking about where and when to do the steak dinner you’re about to owe me?
Which means we’ll get a runoff for sure in the Democratic Lt. Gov and Democratic Sec of State races.
But, of course, the Dem Gov race is where it would be best to see it. Taylor currently at 50% though.
Debbie is ordering premium steaks from Texas right now!
Early returns have McKinney winning without a run off
It’s 9:21pm….As a voter for Reed…this thing is over…Congrats Cagle team! Metro Atlanta is his, Reed has SE Georgia, but Hall and Jackson Co. eliminate that gain….I dont see it firming up at all.
It looks like a runoff for Republican Secretary of State.
Taylor just hit 51.3%. Cox stuck at 44%. 30% precincts reporting.
Life is good.
Off the subject, but the DOA race sure isn’t looking as tight as I thought. Gary’s up 43-27 over Kemp.
Yep … I think in the morning, it will be time for those of us who were Ralph supporters to write him a quick email urging him to get behind Cagle — strongly and quickly.
If he does then he will essentially have the possibility of a second chance down the road.
Reed conceding soon
I just saw Debbie walk in the door. I guess she decided to join the winning camp!
Question, how and when are the early votes factored into the count?
If Reed cant win this thing, I dont know what he could run for and win, Gwinnett is shutting him out and he friggin lives there. East Georgia hasnt come in yet (Augusta area) and he does well there, bust as of 9:30 and 31% in he has to make up 11,000 votes..and Im not sure its there, I bet we’ll know by 10pm
“If he does then he will essentially have the possibility of a second chance down the road.”
I sure hope not.
I have sent my spies there to join ya’ll. I’m going to out each one of you.
Debbie–where are you?
It’s over. Cagle wins…by now the only question is by how much.
Bowersville, last I think
Hey Demonbeck!!!! Gald you called!
jace … gsublh … time heals a lot of wounds … I know its impossible to imagine right now, but trust me.
Peach Pundit calls the race for CAGLE
Wow…talk about anti-climactic.
