Sens. Jim Bunning and Blanche Lincoln easily won their parties' nominations in Kentucky and Arkansas primaries Tuesday, as voters in Oregon picked a challenger to run against another popular Senate incumbent, Ron Wyden.

In other races, Republicans in Kentucky chose a candidate to take on actor George Clooney's father for a seat in the U.S. House, while Oregon voters considered whether to re-elect two county commissioners who decided in secret meetings to allow gay marriages.

In the Kentucky Senate race, Democratic state Sen. Daniel Mongiardo was picked to challenge Bunning, a Hall of Fame pitcher looking to win a second term. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Mongiardo won 65 percent of the vote, defeating David Williams, who had 35 percent.

Bunning, a Republican who has raised $4.6 million already, had only token opposition and, with 99 percent of precincts reporting, had 84 percent of the vote.

Often referred to down here as the best Republican in the Senate. Used to trumpet her "support for the President" in every word-parsed, careful-not-to-actually-say-anything "statement" she ever uttered.

Proudly voted to give bu$h the power to invade any country he wants for any reason at all.

Fuck off, Miss Blank!
