huh? –

Matt Chancey was endorsed by Mike Farris, who is Chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association and Chancellor of Patrick Henry College. He also got the endorsement of several conservative groups. Somehow I don’t think it was all Dems voting for him in the Primary.

If the votes for Chancey were “anti-establishment votes”, and Twinkle represents the “establishment”, then it’s no wonder why the Republican Party is going in the tank.

I guess these same dems who voted for Chancey, voted for Stephanie Bell, Randy McKinney and Jeff Sessions? Chancey and Hornady were anti-establishment votes.

Chancey is a freak…just like the NCAA/truck-driver guy. It was all dems voting for him in the primary. Twinkle will ROLL in the run-off.

Twinkle had the support of the entire republican establishment. Bob Riley headlined a fundraiser for her, she was executive diretor and then chairman of the Alabama republican party. Other candidates won without a run-off. Twinkle maxed out her support and couldn’t do it. Poor Mike Huckabee, did he ever back the wrong horse.

[...] Republican stalwart Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh failed to get through the three person race without a runoff, which is a result that had been characterized in advance as “underwhelming.” She did pull in 47% of the vote, but will have to best Matt Chancey, who won 28%. [...]

Cheryl Sabel’s message of liberalism and abortion on demand will unify the liberal Democrat party and Bobby Bright will only get 75% of the vote.

It will be a sad night in Alabama if the voters go with the AEA-backed candidate against the Bradley Byrne supporter.

If you haven’t already voted, and you live in the right district, vote for Stephanie Bell… please

I sher voted fer Hornady… He sher got some nise amunishun!

All jokes aside… I think Hornady will be a strong candidate. He was the better candidate, although in Baldwin County/ Mobile County, there was relatively little publicity for any candidate. We’ll see how it plays out. Mckinney wins 70%-30%

Expert analysis! Just thought I’d point out you switched the list of candidates for the two criminal appeals elections. The place 2 list goes for place 1 and vice versa, but no biggie.

There is a relaible poll that shows Hornady beating Twinkle. That may be why Twinkle is spending over $200,000 in the primary.

This may be the Alabama political upset of the century tonight.
