Ex-House Member Apparent Winner In Ind. Gubernatorial Primary
Ex-House Member Apparent Winner In Ind. Gubernatorial Primary
Politics. Former Rep. Jill Long Thompson, D-Ind., emerged early today as her party's apparent nominee for governor, following complete unofficial results from Tuesday's primary in the Hoosier State. But her opponent, architect Jim Schellinger, did not immediately concede. Unofficial results tallied by the Associated Press showed Long Thompson ahead by 50.2 percent to 49.8 percent, with about 5,500 votes separating her and Schellinger. If the results hold up, Long Thompson will face GOP Gov. Mitch Daniels -- the Bush administration's first OMB director -- in November. The gubernatorial contest was even tighter than the Democratic presidential primary in Indiana, in which New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton early today emerged as the 51-49 percent winner over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, with fewer than 23,000 votes separating them out of 1.25 million cast.
