Well results have been coming in for about 3 hours now and it appears Governor Fletcher and Former Lt. Governor Steve Beshear have emerged victorious in their primaries by wide margins. Governor Ernie Fletcher who was seen as vulerable primary candidate defeated Fmr. Congressman Anne Northup only 6 months after her November re-election defeat and Businessman Billy Harper. Beshear defeated a crowded field of Democrats by a surprising landslide. He was expected to be neck and neck with Health Care Excutive Bruce Lunsford and Former Lt. Governor Steve Henry. He has nearly doubled their totals and no runoff will be needed. State Treasurer Jonathan Miller's withdrawal from the race probably contributed to Beshear's win tonight. Beshear and Fletcher now are on to fight a very competitive race for the Governor's mansion and no one can say who will win.
