WI GOP senate primary update

With 43% of precincts reporting, Michels leads with 43.5% of the vote to 29.7% for Darrow and 23.1% for Welch. I'm a little surprised at the early numbers. Michels is the new kid on the block, and what I've seen so far, he isn't a terribly savvy politician yet. At the same time, he carries virtually no baggage, he's young and fresh, he has a young family, and he's a veteran. If his numbers hold up, I'm not sure if he can beat Feingold, but he may be able to give him a run for his money.
