It's Conway vs. Paul in Kentucky

UPDATE, 6:00 AM: Conway's passionate victory speech below.

AP calls it for Jack Conway.

Conway got more votes in beating Mongiardo by 1 percentage point than Paul got in beating Trey Grayson by 24 points.

Don't get too excited: far too many Kentucky Democrats vote Republican in general elections. But Conway's win is an extremely good omen for November.

UPDATE, 10:19 p.m. From Ryan Alessi's new home at cn/2politics:

With chants of “We got it back” and “No more tea,” supporters of Jack Conway celebrated and sent out a warning shot all in one as the announcement that Conway had narrowly won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate circulated inside the Downtown Marriott.

Conway is expected to speak at 10:30 p.m., and campaign spokeswoman Allison Haley said that Mongiardo has called Conway to concede the race. He’ll speak first, the Conway will take the stage here.

I missed this earlier, but apparently Conway lost Daviess County - Wendell Ford's home - by 200 votes. Yet Conway won Warren County - Rand Paul's home. This general election is going to be one hell of a ride.
