Byrne Wins Republican Runoff in Alabama House Race.  (The New York Times, 11/5/2013)

Excerpt:  The runoff was the first of what is likely to be many battles to come over the direction of the party, and it proved, to the relief of many in the Republican leadership, that a strong showing by the establishment can win tough races. But it also underscored just how difficult and costly such victories may be going forward.

Sore loser.  Dean Young, the candidate that Byrne defeated, says he refuses to call Byrne to concede and will not be voting for him in the fall election.

The guy is definitely a piece of work.  (Plus I tend to be suspicious of people who get their undies in such a tight little bundle over sexual orientation.)



But this is southern Alabama folks, and there were 34,534 people that voted for him -- Dean Young, the self-professed future of the Republican Party.
