Super Tuesday Mk. II Update: 10:18 PM

Finally Iowa's gotten on the ball and results are filtering in. And they tell us--absolutely nothing, because only 0.4% of the vote is in. Whatever, we can wait.

In Mississippi, things are looking slightly better for Sen. Cochran, who at least has more than 50% of the vote now. With the gap between Sen. Cochran and McDaniel at just over 5,000 votes out of over 166,000 counted, there's still room to call this one either way as more of the 40% of the remaining precincts report in.

In New Jersey the race has only gotten closer. With 28.2% of the vote, Jeff Bell leads Rich Pezzullo even more narrowly than before; meanwhile, less than 25% of the vote remains to be reported. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a recount tomorrow, although I doubt Sen. Booker really cares--it's still a safe seat for him.

Super Tuesday Mk. II Update: 9:44 PM

Some preliminary results in:

• Two incumbent Republican governors have easily defeated primary challengers. South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard and Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, with under 30% of the vote in, both lead their primary challengers by 60-70%.
• In South Dakota again, former Gov. Mike Rounds has secured the Republican nomination for Senate with 57.8% of the vote and just over 30% reporting. He's set to face Democrat Rick Weiland, who ran unopposed, in November.

And now, two non-results:

• New Jersey: Over half of the vote is in and the Republican vote is still split four ways with no clear leader: businessman Rich Pezzullo is ahead with 31% of the vote, but only five points ahead of political consultant Jeff Bell.
• Mississippi: The one that everyone's said they're watching, and as it turns out, it may well have been. Sen. Thad Cochran leads state senator Chris McDaniel by 600 votes with 32% of the vote in--but it may not be enough to avoid a grueling runoff campaign, since neither have 50% thanks to Thomas Carey, who has 1.6% of the vote. Cochran leads McDaniel 49.6-48.8. Meanwhile, former Democratic U.S. Rep. Travis Childers has easily won the Democratic nomination.
