The top 10 primaries of 2014 | WashingtonPost.com

For the past several months, The Fix has regularly been cataloging the top 10 primaries in the country.

And for that whole time, this list has been dominated by GOP Senate primaries — mostly races where, if Republicans get the wrong candidate, and their chances of winning the Senate in November are diminished.

That is starting to change. The GOP has almost without fail gotten the candidates it wanted, and the number of remaining GOP primaries with real Election Day consequences has shrunk….Republicans in Georgia, while still facing a primary runoff, don’t have to worry about the two candidates they publicly fretted about being a part of it, Reps. Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey.

3. Georgia Republican Senate primary runoff (July 22): Senate Republicans got the matchup they wanted: Rep. Jack Kingston vs. businessman David Perdue. Either of the two candidates would satisfy the NRSC against Democrat Michelle Nunn in the general election. But the nastier and more expensive the runoff gets, the better it is for Nunn, who has polled neck-and-neck with all comers. Kingston has the Chamber of Commerce in his corner, but Perdue has deep pockets he has shown a willingness to use them. That could mean a brutal runoff.
