(AP) Tea party favorite Ovide Lamontagne leads in NH

[ShamelessHussy]

WASHINGTON — Tea party-supported Ovide Lamontagne seized an early lead in New Hampshire's Republican senatorial primary Tuesday night, one of a pair of marquee races in the finale to a primary season marked by economic recession and political upheaval.

Lamontagne was gaining 53 percent of the vote to 32 percent for former Attorney General Kelly Ayotte who had the support of party leaders, with ballots counted in 5 percent of the state's precincts.

The race was one of two in which tea party insurgents challenged the party establishment. The other was in Delaware, where veteran Rep. Mike Castle vied with Christine O'Donnell in a Republican Senate nomination race that turned particularly nasty in the final weeks.

Democratic New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch rolled to renomination for a fourth term, and he will face John Stephen, a former state health commissioner who led overwhelmingly for the GOP nomination.
