Pennsylvania Primary: Turnout "Abysmal" in Philadelphia

Some updates on the key primary votes going on today:

• Democrats and Republicans say their early canvassing returns in Pennsylvania's 12th congressional district show a very tight race, and that makes Republicans more anxious than Democrats.
• Turnout, according to Democrats, is "abysmal" in Philadelphia, which is difficult news for Sen. Arlen Specter. Right now, Mayor Michael Nutter and Gov. Ed Rendell are doing the TV/Radio rounds to try and open the floodgates.
• At this point, both sides believe that Blanche Lincoln won't have enough votes to avoid a run-off in Arkansas. The Associated Press seems to be doing a better job of finding Bill Halter voters to quote, but that could be a function of their activist disposition.
• No one is seeing anything in Kentucky that would change minds about the expected outcome on the Republican side of the ledger in favor of Rand Paul.
