Yarmuth has early lead in KY-3

As results trickle in from Kentucky, the 3rd Congressional District looks blue early on. John Yarmuth has a 67% to 31% head start over Republican Anne Northup in that race, with about 1200 votes counted.

This is a nice icebreaker and doesn't necessarily mean anything statistically, but even this early in a southern state, a big Dem lead like that really looks pretty doesn't it?

Update: With 15% counted, we get a more realistic 51.1% to 47.6% in favor of Yarmuth.

Update2: Northup now has the edge with about half the votes counted, but not by much: 49.6 to 49.3%

Update3: Yarmuth has now pulled ahead by a hair more than a percent, with about 66% of the precincts reporting.
