Democrats look to November
Buoyed by his overwhelming primary win, Sheldon Whitehouse says voters "want to see our
country take a new direction."

Sheldon Whitehouse sailed through a Democratic primary for U.S. Senate yesterday, defeating
a newcomer on the statewide political landscape as well as one relative unknown, setting the
stage for a fierce battle with the Republican Party come November.
With 75 percent of the votes counted by 10:30 p.m. Whitehouse had clearly run away with the
race with about 82 percent of the vote, compared with 11 percent for Christopher R. Young and
7 percent for Carl Sheeler.
............. LOOK AT HOW THEY ATTACK CHRIS............................................
Whitehouse's other primary opponent was Young, 37, of Providence, who ran not only for the
U.S. Senate but for mayor of Providence. Yesterday afternoon he stood on a Route 95
overpass waving to passing motorists.
Young, who said he was starting his own alternative energy company, said he was running for
both offices to lessen the odds that he would fall victim to organized crime, which he said had
infiltrated the elections process in Rhode Island, manufacturing additional ballots and stealing
voter coding numbers.
"The reality is this election will be fixed," he said. Of course, if somehow he did win both seats:
"I would do a better job in both offices than any one candidate would do serving in one office."
