Put your first hand voting observations here. "Few dozen in line already at Highlands Elm. Including Mike Castle." Rags and Dutch waiting impatiently for me to vote in the 9th.

Will Ken Simpler’s Trump Support Pay Off?

Today's results will answer many questions. One of the biggest is, did Ken Simpler make the right choice? He could have renounced Trump and run as the non-partisan moderate, a statesman and heir to Mike Castle. That might have created some momentum for the prize he is really after, the Governorship. Instead, he chose silence and thereby became a "Republican party above all" Trump supporter. It may yet work for him. But he will have lost by winning. He will have locked down the GOP nomination for Governor, but will have simultaneously incinerated any chance of ever being Governor.

Scott Goss is Bad at Journalism

The first three paragraphs of Goss' dopey, dumbed-down take in our upcoming elections read as though they were written by a Newark High School sophomore who broke into the News Journal offices and commandeered a workstation:
Democrats are hoping the midterms prove to be such an overwhelming referendum on the president that it produces a "blue wave" that filters down ballots and threatens Republicans running for state seats.
But the intro is just window dressing. The real point comes later when Goss adopts a ‎Philip K. Dick style alternative reality frame to discuss how Hansen and Paradee are vulnerable and what the Senate will be like when Lavelle becomes the leader.
