Primary Day Open Thread

By Jeralyn

Seven states and the District of Columbia are holding primaries today.

The storyline seems to be about the splitting of the Republican party into conservatives and those who are more conservative. I think of all Repubulicans as conservative, so I don't much care who wins their primaries. I care who wins in November, and I doubt any far-right radicals will win any traditionally Democratic states in November. That doesn't mean the Dems won't lose control of the House or Senate in November, but since they didn't do much while they had control, I'm not sure anyone will notice. That part is a shame.

As to Sarah Palin: She can endorse every winner at the Republican racetrack from now until doomsday and she still won't ever be elected to a position where she has a view of, let alone a seat in, the Oval office. That ship has sailed for her.

This is an open thread for today's primaries.
