Don Young Wins Primary
Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) won his primary race against Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell last night by a margin of 304 votes, the AP is reporting.
Young had finished 239 votes ahead of Parnell in the state’s GOP primary earlier this month. The 18-term congressman held onto his lead over Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R) second in command as absentee ballots were counted in the following weeks.
Young’s primary victory could prove a boon for Democrats, as their candidate, former House Minority Leader Ethan Berkowitz, has led Young in polls while trailing Parnell.
