Conservative policy analyst Gary Palmer has come from behind to defeat state Rep. Paul DeMarco in the Republican runoff in Alabama’s 6th District congressional race.

The results are a turnaround from the primary, when DeMarco easily outdistanced Palmer and five other candidates.

sweet!!! This is seat being vacating by Spencer Bachus. Palmer is a strong conservative with almost a photographic memory. He will be a good asset.

Good. Glad the conservative won. Media will NOT report this.

He came from behind to win a huge majority. What do you think the reason was? Was the primary having a lot of candidates?

That’s one less vote for Bonehead as Speaker.

Another one bites the dust!

I wonder what the GOPE and RINO’s will do to sabotage his campaign?

With 84% reporting, ......

*Palmer, Gary GOP 36,695 63%
DeMarco, Paul GOP 21,494 37%

Palmer dominated. I am very happy with these results. This is a big win and a big step up from Bachus.

From what I’ve heard, they’ve already tried. Palmer should easily win in November.

I was hoping it was Arnold Palmer so he could challenge Zero to a grudge match.

A crowded field split the conservative vote in the primary. They all endorsed Gary Palmer in the runoff. And he annihilated DeMarco in debates.

This is about the safest Republican seat in the country, and it should have been held by someone who could be a conservative leader in DC without worrying about re-election. But unfortunately, it was held by an underwhelming career politician. Gary Palmer is a huge, huge upgrade!

Wow! The House races are where it’s at for America.

And in more good news Mark Walker “...Berger has noted that he’s signed an anti-tax pledge from Grover Norquist’s American for Tax Reform. Walker said that Norquist supports a revision of immigration laws that amounts to “amnesty.”
While Berger is the preferred candidate of Republican leaders, Walker said at the candidate debate that he’d vote for Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina for Speaker over Boehner.
“There’s not a lot of things that I agree with Mr. Boehner on,” and he “takes a weak approach to the president,” Walker said...” beat Phil Berger in 6th District N.C. runoff.

Arnold Palmer is alive, well and living in a neighboring town. He is still active in conservative politics and a fine asset to our community. His generosity also added a wing to our neighborhood clinic, among other things.

This is especially quite remarkable when you consider that he retired from golfing when the top purses were in the low six figures. Yes, he invested well, bought an auto dealership and launched other business ventures when he quit golfing, but he's been very generous with our community.

For many years he was the top earning athlete when counting endorsements. Glad to hear he’s a conservative. Almost all pro golfers are.

How could anyone lose with a sporty name like "Gary Palmer"?

(.....i.e., Gary Player Arnie Palmer, LOL)

Your friends are right. He has worked faithfully for constitutional conservatism for decades, mostly in the shadows. It’s great to see him rewarded.
