Paul and Kucinich Hold Seats

By Sarah Wheaton

Updated Representative Ron Paul has won his first Republican primary of the 2008 season, The Associated Press projects. Though his Internet groundswell did not translate into a nomination for the presidency, he easily held back a challenger for his Congressional seat in Texas’s 14th Congressional District. With 56 percent of precincts reporting so far, Mr. Paul has 69.4 percent of the vote, while Chris Peden has 30.6 percent.

“Some Washington insiders would have you believe that Republicans no longer believe in the principles our country and party were founded upon, but the voters in my district have once again proven them wrong,” Mr. Paul said, in a statement. “The message of freedom is popular, and I will continue to trumpet it in Congress and across America as I fight on behalf of the conservative, common sense values which made our country so great.”

Update | 1:30 a.m.

Representative Dennis J. Kucinich, a former presidential candidate, has managed to hold off his four challengers in the Democratic primary for his seat in Ohio, including a former ally in the anti-war movement. The A.P. is projecting his victory with 42 percent of the precincts reporting. Mr. Kucinich has taken 51.9 percent. His closest opponent, Joe Climperman, has 33.1 percent. Incidentally, that former ally, Rosemary Palmer, who was the first to challenge Mr. Kucinich, is running in last place with only 3.6 percent of the vote at this posting.

Bon débarras…
