Edwards Leads in Early Returns!

According to the Baltimore Sun, Edwards leads by 55% to 42% for Al Wynn with just 11% of the precincts counted.

Update 1: Donna leads Al by 58% to 37% with 26% of the precincts counted.

Update 2: Two incumbents are endangered tonight. Wayne Gilchrist currently trails Andy Harris in the Republican primary for the First District (Eastern Shore) with E.J. Pipkin in third place (38%-31%-28%).

Update 3: Donna leads Al by 59% to 36% with 39% of the precincts counted. It's starting to look pretty grim for Wynn.

Update 3: It's in the bag. A kind commenter reports that Donna is winning Prince George's. She is whomping Wynn in Montgomery. With 51% of precincts reporting, Donna leads Al with 59% to 37%. Welcome to Congress, Donna Edwards! P.S. Wayne Gilchrist trails Andy Harris by about 3% in the 1st with just over 50% of returns reported. Looks like two incumbents will be turfed out tonight in Maryland. I need to go do some work before hitting the hay but check out openleft.com for really, really detailed coverage of the Edwards win.

By the way, the official State Board of Elections website appears useless. One always gets "This page cannot be found" and not unofficial election returns. Is Diebold involved?

Update: Well, now you get to the results pages but no votes are yet entered there. But I guess at least SBOE is workin' on it!
