Commissioner for agriculture and industries GOP candidate Dale Peterson's Internet popularity did not translate into votes in Tuesday's primary election.

John McMillan and Dorman Grace appeared headed for a runoff for the Republican nomination to the post.

With 61 percent of the vote reporting, McMillian had almost 38 percent of the vote and Grace had 35 percent. Peterson trailed with a little more than 27 percent.

Peterson's campaign ad, "We are Better Than That," brought an onslaught of media attention to the candidate and the state.

The campaign ad showed the candidate mounting a horse and brandishing a rifle has received more than 1.2 million views on Youtube.
