Early Returns -- Picture Becoming Clearer

We're still burning the 10:30 oil here at CMassPolitics, but two of our four outstanding races are nearing their conclusions and it's starting to look like a good night for Tom Wesley in the 2nd District and Marty Lamb in the 3rd District.

With 183 of 223 precincts reporting in the 2nd District Republican primary, Wesley has opened a lead of more than a thousand votes over Jay Felitman, 7,865 to 6,427.

Meanwhile, in the 3rd District's Republican primary, Marty Lamb has similarly pulled away from Brian Herr to the tune of 5,562 to 4,567 with 162 or 190 precincts in.

We haven't received word of any concessions yet in either race, but we'll let you know as soon as they happen.
