From what I can tell of Dr. Broun, he is more Conservative than Sen. Whitehead. Broun could use the runoff to take aim at the administration and establishment for choosing the candidacy of Whitehead. Given what has been going on lately, it may have traction, and we’ve seen upsets in runoffs before.

You’re right. Broun could get traction. Runoffs are funny things, and sometimes the votes of the losers go to the second place finisher in droves. It should be interesting.
