Please ping me when the Alabama primary results are in!

Will do ... and for the record, from this morning's Birmingham news:

"On the Republican side, 69 percent of the surveyed voters said they would vote for Riley, 26 percent preferred Moore and the rest were undecided."

A 43% margin. Margin of error 5%.

We shall see.

Re: the Alabama Republican primary. Spent all day yesterday campaigning at a busy intersection in Pell City ... got home late from the election night Moore rally ... so I'm kind of whipped this morning.

I think the latest figures show a 30 point loss for Judge Moore. This is about 13 points better than the polls were showing ... but much worse than I was expecting.

So the polls were indeed off by a good bit. The 40+ spread was always ludicrous. But I don't mind admitting I was wrong in expecting a closer race ... something in the 15% or lower neighborhood.

Sometimes the whole poll-driven, money-centered political system depresses me. How many people didn't work like they would have ... or perhaps even didn't vote ... because of what the polls were saying?

At least in Florida, Katherine Harris should have some money to fight back with.
