More Primary Fun
Author: BobR    Date: 08/12/2026 13:02:17

If it's Wednesday, it must be primary results day, so let's dive right in...

Wisconsin:
The governor's race is extremely tight, with "establishment" Dem David Crowley eking out a win over "progressive" candidate Francesco Hong by just over 3000 votes currently. That's less than 1/2% of total votes cast.

Minnesota:
On the Dem side, the governor's race is over. Amy Klobuchar has nearly 90% of the vote (over 600K votes). On the Republican side, My Pillow magnate Mike Lindell was desperately trying to regain some revelance, but he lost to Lisa Demuth by over 10% of the vote. Taking notes from his hero, he's claiming the election was rigged.
For the Senate, progressive Dem Peggy Flanagan handily beat moderate Angie Craig. Former NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya looks like the winner on the Republican side... not that it matters, because in all the primaries in Minnesota, the Dems had twice as many voters as the Reps.

South Carolina:
THe big story here is that with the death of Lindsey Graham, there was a stampede of wannabes to replace him. Currently, Darline Graham (the placeholder until Jan) is in the lead, with 33% of the vote total.
For the governor's primary, there's not much to say other than the Dem race had more votes than the Rep race.

Vermont:
Not a lot of excitement here. Let's move on...

Alabama:
Ugh. Re-voting due to redistricting.

Next week: Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming.

Wisconsin: MSNow has it at 91% in.

Can the media stop frealing out about DSA taking over the party?

Oh, I just heard on SMS that Hong had previously called to abolish Thanksgiving. Dumb.

Iran is working so fast on these videos ! Must watch!

Sound up!

Trump gave the cameras his tough-guy Air Force One wave… then escaped through a catering truck while the press sat on the decoy.

From “unconditional surrender” to Meal Team Six.
