It says a lot that Republicn-leaning voters in Cullman have decided that they prefer a national GOP in disarray to Hubbard and Co.

Sounds like Cullman GOP voters are learning the same trick Democratic party voters learned after the collapse of the Dixiecrats.

I can explain the disparity in Cullman easily: voters have disassosciated the state GOP from the national GOP. Also, McCain and Huckabee both appeal to the same kind of middle-class evangelical Republican-leaning independents who accounted for Fields’ huge victory. No matter what the media says, most of the conservative independents I know in Cullman like McCain and Huckabee both (but usually loathe Romney).

Voters are easy to understand, begin by grokking humans and their feline masters.

One week after blowing a house race the GOP won Cullman by a two to one margin in total votes. Ill never understand voters….

Please–oh please–let the Democrats elect Joe Reed state party chair!

This election has confirmed yet again that Joe Reed can drag down anybody. He got beat in his city council race, he got whipped trying to run for the state senate. He is the kiss of death when it comes to elections, particularly in the black community. And now Joe Reed wants to be party chair.

One of the things that has been frying me in the past weeks… I was talking to someone yesterday who was saying that she wanted to vote for Ron Paul but didn’t– because he was no longer in the race. Paul actually had been doing better than Huckabee in some states and beat out Giulliani well before Rudy dropped out. Not to mention, Ron Paul has raised more money than any Republican candidate. Yet the media has refused to give any acknowledgment that Paul was still in the race– and as such are directly responsible for the results.

Yeah, a lot of moss-backs turned out to try to stop McCain. In a way, Huckleberry’s win here proves that he may be right about evolution being a myth.

I’ve never been a one-issue voter, but I’m disappointed that a candidate with anti-evolution views has won approval of Alabama voters.
