Candidate	Votes	Vote %	Winner
Loretta Haldenwang	881	56%
Kim Limberg	685	44%

Congratulations go to Loretta Haldenwang. Looks like overall voter turnout was not so bad in Irving, but I think by looking at the numbers of people who voted in the governor’s races overall, you can tell the Republicans were much more involved in their primary than Democrats were in theirs. I’m sure my co-bloggers will have more to say on the subject, but obviously, the big (and not surprising news) is that Rick Perry won the Republican primary race for governor, and Bill White won the Democratic primary. My speculation is that Democratic turnout wasn’t as strong simply because the races weren’t as interesting. Bill White is a perfectly acceptable candidate to most Democrats and the other contenders lost by so large a margin it’s easy to justify sitting this one out. Thankfully, Kinky lost so we’ll be able to run a real candidate for Ag commissioner.
