Looks like Brown has the big mo'. As for Chafee, ouch. He's in deep shit, assuming he even survives his primary. (And let's hope he doesn't.) Weird that they don't have primary results for the GOP like they do for the Dem side. They probably couldn't get enough Republicans in the sample to offer a statistically significant result. Remember -- Chafee wins this solidly Democratic state on the strength of Democratic votes.

As for the governor's race, it doesn't look great but may still be in play. Carcieri hasn't hit that 50 percent mark yet.
