The Kentucky delegation to the RNC scored big this week, and if Anne Northup's absence is any indication, U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth has reason to be cautiously optimistic, too.

It wasn't just Federal races that were contested yesterday throughout Kentucky. Here is a look at a few state legislative races of note.

State Senate - 11th District:

Former US Marshall and Boone County Jailer John Schickel (R-Union) squeaked out a win over former state Representative Charlie Walton (R-Florence) in a hotly contested northern Kentucky Republican primary for 11th state Senate seat left open by retiring incumbent Dick Roeding (R-Lakeside Park).

With 100 percent of precints reporting, Shickel won by just 24 votes over Walton - 4,341 to 4,317.
