State Sen. Gwen Moore won the Democratic primary overwhelmingly tonight for the 4th Congressional district being vacated by Jerry Kleczka. As a Moore supporter, I was quite impressed by her margin of victory. Her campaign worked hard to turn out her supporters and it certainly paid off tonight.

In the Senate primary to determine who will take on Sen. Russ Feingold, Tim Michels pulled off a solid victory against the well financed Russ Darrow. I guess all that television advertising paid off for Michels. State Sen. Bob Welch finished third which leads me to believe more people came to the conclusion that one losing US Senate race was enough for him.
