20% and he had a grand total of 3 endorsements, a shit ton of positive press in national newspapers and online, and some viral tweets.

What a goddamn joke. Ayanna Pressley outclassed John in every possiblr way.

This isn't a good result for Wu, but it's a bad result for Lynch if these numbers hold. Under 75% against two no-effort candidates? An Ayanna Pressley could have cleaned his clock, and in 2020, someone like her just might.

on the other hand, he didn't do a lot of campaigning since he was running against two no-effort candidates
capuano had tons of mailers and phone calls and stuff

Yeah, I’m sure he’s pissing himself in terror.

Our top Russian operatives have succeeded in leaking the incumbent's response to tonight's results:

It’s a bad year for incumbent democrats in primaries, and he’s going to win three to one without lifting a finger or spending a dollar. He did fine tonight, and he has a fortune in the bank if he ever gets a legitimate challenger.

No money spent is the key. That's all getting bankrolled for the contingency of a primary or Mass GOP challenger worth a shit showing up.

As long as it’s not Brianna Wu aka John Flynt who the fuck cares? At this point, Stephen has 2 years to clean up his voting record and win back those voters which is entirely possible or not because he’s faced challengers a lot and beaten the very time.

Also, seeing an actual progressive running against a joke progressive like Brianna and cleaning his clock would be amazing. That would be an even more satisfying defeat than tonight’s.

Okay, I may be wrong, but if I were an ambitious Boston-area progressive, I'd think about getting a war chest and hitting District 8 in 2020. And I wouldn't worry about Brianna at all.

Oh come on. The guy did literally nothing and won. He didn't bother raising money, he barely bothered to communicate with voters.
He relied entirely on his reputation and his work history to see him though and it worked.

Surely any victory where you expend zero effort is like worth infinite praise.

I don't think that's a terrible result, and it's going to be very informative for Lynch because it's such a good experiment. We've got the absolute zero candidate in Voehl, which proves that probably about 12% of the population will just vote randomly (I figure 6% for Voehl and another 6% of randoms for Wu)
Then we've got about another 14% of genuine discontented constituents who voted Wu. I wouldn't be panicking if I were in Lynch's lead-lined fortress hideout.

I'd sooner swoop in on Katherine Clark. I don't know how much money she has, but she's an abject loon and isn't on any important committees, so unseating her wouldn't harm the district/commonwealth.
 
I agree with AprilRains. The 20% are voters who don't like the status quo and didn't do any research into the other candidates. If Lynch had a decent progressive female opponent who ran a real campaign, I think she could have won, or at least come close.
 
20%?

that surprisingly good for such a lackluster campaign.

On the plus side it will probably entice Johnny to give it another go next time.

Depends on if you're trying to get a seat, any seat, or push Congress leftward.
