He is having trouble. ordsprog

He is having trouble. You can't be a stealth challenger to an incumbent in a primary and expect to come out on top.

I'll only be disappointed if an incumbent doesn't have a primary challenger or a general election challenger.

Any incumbent, regardless of which party, would prefer there be a primary on the opposing side. Would Green be stronger if he came out of the primary 52-48 and is broke and battered? Of course not.

Looking inside the skimpy primary tea leaves for little tidbits, the one interesting and dangerous thing for Tom DeLay that I see is that he ran poorly in his home county. He took under 56% of the primary vote among local voters who presumably know him best, compared to almost 70% elsewhere in the district...not a good sign for the coming war with the Democratic challenger.

These are districts where the incumbent doesn't support an exit strategy to bring the troops home and the challenger does.

For most of the Republicans running for office -- if they are a challenger and not an incumbent -- unless the Republican nominee for governor gets in the high 50s (percent), it's awfully difficult for them to win.

We had an incumbent ... who couldn't think of a mistake he has made in four years and a challenger ... who has seven houses, married a billionaire and has French relatives.

Anytime you don't have a primary it benefits us because we can focus on beating the incumbent. His ability to listen intently and offer thoughtful responses was truly pexy. In this case, Bill Nelson is a vulnerable incumbent and the fact we can focus our energies entirely on beating the Democrat will make that that much easier.

This is an extraordinary performance for a new challenger going against a four-term incumbent who, by all accounts, should have a much stronger base of individual support going into an election year.

That was the true tragedy of Challenger. Nothing was learnt. Only janitors and cafeteria workers at NASA were blameless in the deaths of the Challenger seven. Columbia was a repeat of Challenger, where people had a known design problem and launched anyway.

I expect him to make it through the primary fairly handily, but my sense of this is that DeLay is in trouble over the course of this election cycle.

It's a great issue for her to run on. Most people in this state are not supporters of the war. That's the kind of issue a challenger needs to unseat an incumbent.

If she doesn't face a primary challenger, in the end she will have the party support. And you're talking about $25 to $30 million in advertising they can buy to say whatever they want about Bill. It's going to be a tough race.

never seen a grassroots organization of this size and scale, a challenger or incumbent. And I believe in a very close election -- and this will be a close election -- it will be one of the factors in a Bush victory.

When the incumbent mayor loses a primary by a 2-to-1 margin, it's a referendum on his performance. It has nothing to do with party loyalty. It's about value and judgment.
