2008 Primary, Day of...

I'll be spending the whole day volunteering for various candidates but I wanted to post the Giles Road predictions:

U.S. Senate Race

Scott Kleeb 64%
Tony Raimondo 33%
Others 3%

U.S. Congressional Race NE-02

Jim Esch 58%
Richard 41%

Election can often be about expectations. The Kleeb campaign has done a great job at expectations, down playing there chances just in case Raimondo keeps it close. The Esch campaign has been horrible about it. They are running around as the Hillary Clinton to Richard Carter's Barack Obama -- should Carter keep it close then that makes Esch look really foolish...again.

I noticed that same analogy a while back - when I had walked into Carter's campaign office to volunteer for the first time. Esch is taking his leftover good will from 2006 for granted, and it shows. Just like how Clinton is taking her husband's tenure (and in a smaller sense her own senate exposure) for granted.

Yep, way off on my predictions there...
