Primaries Held in 4 States
--------------------------



Statewide primaries were held Tuesday in four states. In Colorado, a
record turnout saw Senator Michael Bennet beating out progressive
challenger Andrew Romanoff in the state’s Democratic Senate primary. On
the Republican side, tea party favorite Ken Buck defeated former
lieutenant governor Jane Norton for the Senate nomination. In
Connecticut, the professional wrestling magnate Linda Mc Mahon beat out
former Congress member Rob Simmons in the Republican Senate primary. Mc
Mahon will face Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to fill
the seat left vacant by the retiring Senator Christopher Dodd.
