cd08 republican horserace as of 9:32 pm
Found this interesting on the Secretary of State's primary results page for the Republican primary in CD08.
With just 54.6% of total precincts reporting, Graf is leading Huffman by the narrowest of margins, 40.6% to 39% as of this writing. That seems like too close for comfort, until you look at who has reported so far...
All precincts in the district in Pinal and Santa Cruz Counties have reported in, as have about two-thirds of the Pima County precincts. NONE of the Cochise County precincts are recorded yet. If Graf maintains even close to the margin he has in Pima County in the remaining precincts here, we can all breath a sigh of relief. Cochise County is a Graf stronghold and was the source of the surprisingly close race he ran against Kolbe two years ago.
Cochise will deliver big for Graf, which will in turn deliver a big reward to southern Arizona: a Democrat representing us in the U.S. House of Representatives!
[UPDATE 9-13-06 1:39 AM] Looks like I was right. With the Cochise County precincts reporting, Graf extended his lead to a decisive victory - even though Huffman wouldn't concede. Seriously man, just suck it up and deal.
