I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary. [View all] In It to Win It Mar 3 OP

With only 50% of the vote in and a court stay issued in the three leading stronghold counties (including Dallas County) hlthe2b Mar 3 #1

Talarico is at 99 cents in predictions market. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 3 #2

Well, alrightee. Why even vote? Just let the gamblers decide for us. hlthe2b Mar 3 #3

I report. You decide. People have already voted. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 3 #7

Pray tell, why are YOU "disappointed?" hlthe2b Mar 3 #10

Because I wasn't first to call it DemocratSinceBirth Mar 3 #12

Being "first' can make one a jackass when wrong. Not saying he will be but there is that risk. hlthe2b Mar 3 #15

Definitely not over yet, but Talarico has a strong edge calguy Mar 3 #4

I am agnostic either way. I'd take either. But, I detest this desire to ignore the election hlthe2b Mar 3 #5

I couldn't care less about the 'betting market' calguy Mar 3 #11

That is a reasonable argument to make. Not prejudging a vote that is still largely early votes and excludes hlthe2b Mar 3 #14

No one is saying not to count the votes, just that looking at the votes counted, he may win karynnj Mar 4 #24

Wasserman's usual "I have seen enough" is just that and foolish as hell in this case. hlthe2b Mar 4 #25

I hope that if Talarico ends up with over 50 percent of the vote, karynnj Mar 4 #28

Talarico got 70% of Latino votes. ananda Mar 3 #8

No. It is not and won't be until tomorrow. This is almost all early voting and not same day... hlthe2b Mar 3 #9

Dallas is 2/3 in now Boo1 Mar 3 #17

We shall see. Again, so many tonight are citing one pollster (and the betting markets) in total hlthe2b Mar 3 #18

Time will tell, but she has consistently under-performed in early vote. pat_k Mar 3 #20

I am not saying she will win. But, there is enough up-in-the air in this problematic election hlthe2b Mar 4 #23

Of course. pat_k Mar 4 #27

And if the projections are correct? Happy Hoosier Mar 4 #31

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. i have no pick in this race if that is your insinuation. hlthe2b Mar 4 #33

No... i just don't understand your butthurt. Happy Hoosier Mar 4 #35

Stop accusing me of such nonsense. I attacked no one. In a 50:50 proposition, projections are not hlthe2b Mar 4 #36
