Election recap

I made it back to Huntsville last Thursday...just haven't had much time for blogging since then.

The good news since my last post is that most of my guys won in the primary election last week. I think that the Republicans have managed to select a very strong ticket for November's general election. Gov. Riley beat Roy Moore handily in the Republican race for Governor, and the Tom Parker slate was resoundingly defeated in the races for Supreme Court.
