PRIMARY NIGHT

Sorry I'm late, but I was over at a couple of campaign stops tonight. After a hard lesson with crawfish, I am now ready to oversee what I am seeing...

In CD22: Dean Hrbacek is coming up short right now...disappointing. The race now is a battle between Shelley Sekula Gibbs and Pete Olson, and I will give out my official endorsement eventually on that deal, even though many would rather not.

DEM Prez: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are duking it out for the state of Texas, and Hillary just swallowed up Ohio and Rhode Island (Obama got Vermont).

GOP Prez: The main reason why we came up short compared to Democrats, but a good sign nonetheless as John McCain seals the deal tonight, hitting the magic number (1,191). The Dems continue to fight for delegates, no ifs, ands or Floridians and Michiganders about it.

Nonetheless, in both presidential races the precincts are reporting very slowly here.

DEM Senate: It is unclear if Rick Noriega will seal the deal tonight, but he should be their nominee against Sen. John Cornyn, who should be re-elected despite his closeness to Dubya.

Other congressional matchups (as of 11:30):
CD3: Sam Johnson vs. Tom Daley
CD4: Ralph Hall vs. Glenn Melancon
CD6: Dem results too close to call (Winner faces Joe Barton)
CD10: Michael McCaul will get Larry Joe Doherty as his opponent
CD14: Ron Paul wins GOP nomination for his congressional seat by 2-to-1 margin
CD16: Silvestre Reyes wins heavily for Dems
CD18: John Faulk wins right to take on Sheila "C-SPAN Beerfest" Jackson Lee
CD19: Randy Neugebauer vs. Dwight Fullingim
CD23: Lyle Larson will give Ciro Rodriguez a run for his money
CD27: No word yet on Solomon Ortiz's GOP challenger, be it George Benavidez or Willie Vaden
CD32: Eric Roberson and Steve Love will have a runoff, if the margins are consistent with what has come in from the one-third of precincts reported. They won't catch Pete Sessions, though

I will have more come daybreak...
