Here in the United States, eight states held primaries on Tuesday. In one of the day’s most watched races, Republican Brian Bilbray narrowly won the seat vacated by jailed former Congressmember Randy “Duke” Cunningham in San Diego. California State treasurer Phil Angelides won the Democratic primary to take on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in November. And in a race we covered yesterday on Democracy Now, incumbent Congressmember Jane Harman beat out anti-war candidate Marcy Winograd in the Democratic primary in California’s 36th district. Winograd defied expectations and captured nearly 38% of the vote.
