CPRM, Pt 3: LA 11/6

[Yellowhammer]

I voted for King but I'm not sad to see Marshall win. I'm happy to see Gerald Dial (been in the legislature since 1974) go down. I'm also very happy to see that Twinkle lost. I absolutely despise that woman.

I didn't like Twinkle's dishonest attacks against Ainsworth, but otherwise, what've you got against her?
I'm also overjoyed to see Dial lose. He's a real POS.

Dial lost 61-39% in Clay County LOL.

Golden. Everyone I know from Clay county hates him. What about Cleburne?

[DINGO Joe]

There's a grown adult that goes by the name "Twinkle"?

What's so bad about Dial? I know he was a very conservative Democrat in the past (until he lost Democratic primary in 2006), but that can be said about lot of people in the state. I understand, that now Republicans have it's own big bench and doesn't need a conservative Democrats in their ranks, as in the past, when Republican party was much smaller and heavily recruited them. But, besides that, what else?

P.S. Would Bright run better in GE as a "conservative Indie" then in Republican primary?

What’s wrong with Twinkle?

That's honestly kind of awesome.

I'll say it: I'd rather have someone named Twinkle on the Supreme Court than someone named Brett.

Dial is quite corrupt. Also, I don't understand why he even ran for Ag. commissioner. He's 80 years old and has been in office for 44 years, so I don't understand why he would run for commissioner of all things.

I just really don't like her. She champions herself on being an outsider even though she has ran statewide 4 or 5 times. Her ads in the race were either false ads about Ainsworth or about how she "laced up her shoes to campaign for President Trump." Honestly, she kinda comes off as dumb to me.

I don't believe Little Stars are eligible to run for Alabama Lieutenant Governor.

HA man that was a good one

Thanks! May be - he ran because he regularily had rather difficult primaries running for his state Senate seat (at least - it was so in 2006 (as Democrat) and 2014 (as Republican))?

Yeah that could be why. I just don't really understand the move.

One more question: Pate comes from Lowdness county, which is 70+% Black and heavily Democratic. Typical for Black Belt situation with generally liberal and almost completely Democratic Blacks, and heavily conservative and almost exclusively Republican whites? In the past this area was Democratic, very conservative and segregationist. Whites are still very conservative, Republican, and, probably, still segregationst in their thoughts here...

I thought Republicans in majority-minority counties were more moderate even if voting is still polarized.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

I hope Courtland Sykes wins the MO-Sen Republican primary.

May be new generations. But initially these Republicans were recently converted ultrasegregationist and ultraconservative Democrats. That's why i ask - whether it's still so... I am reasonably sure about general conservatism of these people, not so sure - about "internal segregationism". But the neighboring Dallas county elected former leader of White Citizens Councils of Alabama (Walter Givhan) to state Senate long after Blacks began to vote - so strong was this tradition.

I hope I hit the lottery.

Rooting for Carolyn Boudreaux and Lucy McBath.

All four of the Dem runoff candidates seem pretty good. What's your take in terms of who's stronger for the GE?

Carolyn Bourdeaux is a robust fundraiser and has extensive experience in public policy. David Kim is a self funding political novice, which is fine, I just don’t think he conveys well why he’s running. His first time ever voting was for himself in the primary. LOL.

I like Kevin Abel, but Lucy McBath brings millions of dollars of tv, radio, and field from Everytown, Moms Demand Action, and every other gun safety advocacy group in the country. So I’m going with her so I can see how Dems do in this district with loads of money but minus the National attention. I was worried McBath would be a one issue candidate but I’ve seen her begin to pivot to healthcare in the closing weeks of the campaign.
