Split results

Well, looks like we got good news, and not so good news. On the plus side, McBride appears headed to victory as of this writing. If current projections hold, and McBride gets the win, Dems will have a legitimate chance to take out Jeb.

Also good news, Miami-Dade voters appeared to have upheld a law protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination. Funny how the homophobic groups behind the repeal campaign argue that the law is "unecessary", yet have gone through immense trouble and expense to repeal it. Assuming the defeat holds up after all ballots are counted, it looks as though the homophobes will challenge the results in court, alleging that the day's widespread voter irregularities cost them the campaign.

On a more disappointing note, Sununu beat Sen. Smith up in New Hampshire, offering Dem nominee Jean Shaheen a stronger challenge in the key battleground race.
