Primary Results
Tuesday marked a number of key primaries for the November elections.
In Missouri, Congressman Kenny Hulshof (R) has defeated State Treasurer Sarah Steelman (R) by a 49-45 margin. Hulshof will now have the honor of probably losing to State Attorney General Jay Nixon (D) in November.
In Michigan, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (D), the mother of the crooked mayor of Detroit, was in a tight primary race with State Representative Mary Waters (D). The late returns showed Kilpatrick with a very narrow lead of less than 1,000 votes. Given that margin there is a very good chance of a recount, though local politics would favor Kilpatrick in that event.
Whoever wins the primary will win in November as the district is 90% Democratic.
In Kansas, ex Congressman Jim Ryun trailed State Treasurer Lynn Jenkins, also by a margin of around 1,000 votes and also so close that a recount is likely. Ryun would probably be an underdog to incumbent Nancy Boyda while Jenkins would be a slight favorite but the race will be close either way
