For your Kansas results, I recommend the Secretary of State's site. With 373/819 in, Jenkins is up by 4%, Topeka is not in.

In Missouri, I recommend the Secretary of State's office also. In MO-09, it looks like Luetkemeyer won going away. It looks like the Governor's office primary is closer, but it looks like Kenny Hulshof is pulling it off.

In Michigan, it is not as easy. In the MI-07 primary, State Sen. Mark Schauer, the DCCC's recruit, won the primary. In MI-13, it looks like Kilpatrick will survive, but be a squeaker. FreeP has the details.

What else?

UPDATE at 11:52EST:

MO-GOV has been called for Kenny Hulshof. Congrats to Congressman Hulshof.

KS-02 is looking very close, but currently with 644/819 in, Jenkins is up over Ryun by 2000. Don't know which precincts and/or counties are not in yet.

UPDATE: MORNING

In KS-02, Ryun has conceded. With 100% of precincts in, Jenkins wins by 967 votes.

There are primaries today in Kansas, Missouri, and MIchigan. Election Journal will be on the scene in Michigan and Missouri to find election irregularities.

The key primaries, to my mind, are:

• KS-02: Former Congressman and conservative Jim Ryun faces State Treasurer Lynn Jenkins, a moderate. Ryun lost in 2006 and, while most conservative groups are supporting him very aggressively against Jenkins, there are concerns that he can't win a general election.
• MO-09. Kenny Hulshof is running for Governor and so Bob Onder and Blaine Luetkemeyer. The primary has focused on immigration. MO RTL has endorsed Luetkemeyer even though Onder was a leader in the cloning debate, and Onder has been endorsed by the Club for Growth.
• MO-GOV. Kenny Hulshof is in a primary against Michelle Steeleman. Ruffini has taken a position on this.
• MI-07. The question here is how well the DCCC's candidate Mark Schauer does against 2004 and 2006 nominee Sharon Reiner, an organic farmer. Republicans in the district and around Michigan tell me that Schauer can beat Rep. Tim Walhberg (R).
• MI-13. Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick (D) is in a 3-way primary. Her son is the mayor of Detroit who is facing perjury charges for lying in testimony about an affair that he was having and that he had used city tax-dollars to pay a settlement with a whistle-blower over. In addition, Kilpatrick and her son endorsed Hillary Clinton, which is undoubtedly a good issue on the ground.

I assume that there are good primaries at the state level. Please share in the comments.
