Hillary stomped Barack in West Virginia….No Surprise there.
However, there are some other elections of interest, in Mississippi, you have Democrat Travis Childers running against Greg Davis in a district that went 62%-37% for Bush in 2004.
Childers won the first round, but was just short of an absolute majority, and as of about 10pm EST, courtesy of the Cotton Mouth Blog:
CHILDERS (D) 42,029 – 51%
DAVIS (R) 40,275 – 49%
(366 of 462 precints reporting)
Update: AP Calls it for Childers, and there was much rejoicing.
We also have a primary contest in Nebraska between Scott Kleeb and Tony Raimondo for US Senate. Kleeb has gotten a fair amount of netroots support, and Raimondo was a Republican until he decided he wanted to run for senate, so I’m pulling for the guy with the 5 letter name.
At this moment, the NE Secretary of State is showing Kleeb with a 68%-26% lead over Raimondo with 24% reporting.
