Tuesday's Primary Results

Massachusetts Governor
Being Attorney General wasn't enough for Tom Reilly, who finished dead last in this 3-way primary to determine the Democratic candidate for Governor. Instead, it was Deval Patrick who picked up 50% of the vote, and who will go on to face Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey (R) in November.

Massachusetts Senate
In a nailbiter, Ken Chase (R) beat Kevin Scott (R) 51%-49% to win the Republican nomination for Senate. Somewhere, Ted Kennedy yawns.

Massachusetts CD 9
Steve Lynch (D) picked up 77% of the vote in easily winning the nomination for this seat. He will face Jack Robinson, III (R) in November.

Washington Senate
Senator Maria Cantwell (D) picked up 95% of the vote, and Mike McGavick (R) picked up 85% of the vote. Why were people running against them, exactly? Oh well . . . now the race can "officially" begin.

Washington CD 2
Doug Roulstone (R) picked up 76% of the vote, and advances to face Congressman Rick Larsen (D) in November.

Washington CD 3
Michael Messmore (R) won 66% of the vote on the way to winning his primary. His opponent in November will be Congressman Brian Baird (D).

Washington CD 4
Richard Wright (D) easily won his primary, picking up 85% of the vote. He'll face Congressman Doc Hastings (R), who picked up a safe but not exceptional 76% in being re-nominated.

Washington CD 7
Congressman Jim McDermott (D) was unfazed by his two primary opponents, as he obliterated them by picking up 92% of the vote. He will face Steve Beren (R) in November.
