Results: anti-war Delavar vs. pro-surge Baird



OK, the results are pouring in, and there have been some problems getting to the Legislative totals at the Secretary of State’s Website. However, the trend shows anti-war Republican Michael Delavar has got the No. 2 spot against U.S. Rep. Brian Baird.

"I am encouraged and honored and humbled that my message has reverberated with voters. They took a chance on me," said Delavar, an airline pilot. "I cannot wait to start a general election. When we can simplify the race, I think the differences will be clear."

Quite a race, as Delavar is a Ron Paul type who appears to be edging out traditional Republican Christine Webb, and anti-war Democrat Cheryl Crist.

In Sen. Dan Swecker’s race, it looks like a rematch with Democrat Chuck Bojarski.

Republicans Ted Shannon and Neal Kirby didn't make the cut, but Kirby appears to be winning more votes than Shannon, despite a significant fundraising gap.
