What to Watch for in Today’s Primary Elections
A good one: Ohio’s race for the gubernatorial nomination. Plus, Jonathan Bernstein’s morning links.

Today is a big primary election day, with contests in four states. The headline nominations up for grabs are Senate for Republicans in Indiana and West Virginia, and governor for both parties in Ohio. Republicans will also choose an opponent for Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in Ohio, although for now, Brown seems relatively safe. Ed Kilgore has one good overview; Steven Shepard and Alex Isenstadt have another. And Daily Kos Elections continues to do a terrific job covering these races; it’s written in a very partisan (Democratic) tone, but the information is first-rate.
I already discussed the big West Virginia Senate primary. Here’s what I’ll be looking for in the rest of the primaries.
