And with 11 percent in it looks like Progressive Donna Edwards has knocked of Lieberman-like incumbent Al Wynn. Unfortunately the ice-leery and fatigued judges in her potentially best precincts seem to be refusing to drive in their materials. So, people are a little suspicious.

Here’s Matt Stoller’s thread on it at OpenLeft. And WaPo’s live results page for Donna’s district.

Donna Edwards won easily. Here’s Chris Bower’s take:

Update 2–Edwards Wins MD-04: The Washington Post has projected Donna Edwards as the winner in the Democratic primary for Maryland’s 4th congressional district! Yes, yes, yes! I’m going to sign off for the night now, and provide updated pledged delegate and popular vote totals in the morning. Congratulations to everyone!

Update–Huge night for progressive movement: With every precinct coming in with at least a 10% improvement for Edwards over 2006, let me reiterate this point: the new primary voters who are coming out for Barack Obama are also going to result in the first progressive displacement of a centrist, corporate, congressional Democrat via a primary in years. This it it. This is what we have been working for and building for. This is our emerging majority. We finally have the organization, and the voters, and the whole ball of wax. The movement has thoroughly come of age.
