With the Rhode Island primaries less than 24 hours away, I feel like making some predictions.  Here we go...


Mayor of Providence

     This one will be close.  It's funny how everyone I talk to seems to feel like at least one of the major candidates has absolutely no chance of winning.  This will definitely be a close race.  With that said, I predict John Lombardi will win a close race, with Steven Costantino finishing second, and Angel Taveras finishing third. 


Congress, 1st District

     John Loughlin will walk away with this one for the Republicans.  For the Democrats, I'm expecting David Cicilline to win, followed by William Lynch, David Segal, and Anthony Gemma.  The only good thing about David Cicilline winning, is that he will be prominently mentioned in headlines on November, 3rd when he's defeated by John Loughlin.  "Republican claims seat held by Kennedy" would be a great headline.


Congress, 2nd District

     Unfortunately, it looks like Jim Langevin will be victorious against Betsy Dennigan.  I don't like Dennigan's politics, but I would like to see Langevin defeated, especially since it would likely help the Republican candidate.   Speaking of the Republicans, there are four running in District 2.  If Mark Zaccaria gets less than 60% of the vote, I'll be shocked.


Governor

     I'm really not thrilled with any of the candidates for governor.  It seems like each candidate, regardless of party, seems to lack bold ideas to improve the state.  With that said, the best candidates are the two Republicans.  I like both Victor Moffitt and John Robitaille, but I think Robitaille will win this one easily.
    

Lieutenant Governor

     On the Republican side, Heidi Weston should win by a comfortable margin, along with Elizabeth Roberts for the Democrats.  The most surprising thing about this campaign was that Jeremy Kapstein ran such a lackluster campaign.  It seems like he did almost nothing to raise his profile.


Secretary of State

     I hope I'm wrong about this one, but it looks like Ralph Mollis is heading for victory for the Democrats.  


Attorney General

     You probably won't be surprised to know that I plan on voting for Eric Wallin in November.  As for the Democrats in tomorrow's primary, I think it's going to be Kilmartin with Archambault finishing second and Fernandez third.


     There you go, my predictions for tomorrow's primary.  I'll be voting in the Republican primary, and I hope you'll take a few minutes to cast your vote.
