It would be a mistake to infer too much from them particularly if turnout is light, but they will allow the fun of speculating on how partisan the district has become. For example, Republicans expressed some hopes of picking up the House District 22 seat after Democratic Rep. Albert Hall died last November. But when the Democrats turned out three-and-a-half times as many voters as Republicans did in the primary, you got the sense that the district did not have as many active Republicans as the GOP hoped. Democrat Butch Taylor went on to claim the seat in the general election by a wide (58%-42%) margin. [...] […] We will also be looking with interest to see the turnout numbers for each party.

I have never said that a Republican will win this district, and I have been a little surprised how much I have seen in blogs about the likelihood of a Republican being elected to this district.
