Allen Boyd Barely Edges Al Lawson in Dem Congressional Primary

U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd defeated Senate Minority Leader Al Lawson of Tallahassee in the Democratic primary by the smallest of margins -- 51 percent to 49 percent with more than 82,000 votes already counted.

Republicans were already targeting Boyd, and this primary result puts a huge bulls-eye on the congressmans forehead. Funeral home owner Steve Southerland smoked the Republican field -- winning 47 percent with more than 60,000 votes cast.
