Ron Sparks rolled over Congressman Artur Davis 62% to 38% to win the Democratic nomination for Alabama's Governor. Davis was vying to be the state's first African American nominee for Governor. Davis angered state Democrats by voting against health care reform and he did not pursue the endorsement of the state's black organizations, and he paid dearly. Sparks is running mainly on regulating gambling in the state.
Bradley Byrne, former state senator and head of the state's 2-yr. junior colleges, claimed one of the runoff spots on the Republican side. He will face either Tim James, son of the former Governor Fob James, or newcomer, Dr. John Bentley, a Tuscaloosa physician. There will be a recount since the vote difference between James and Bently is only a hundred and something votes. Bentley vote surprised everybody. Everybody thought it would be between Byrne and James.
Of course I will vote the straight Democratic ticket in November. I certainly hope that Tim James doesn't win. He is the one true idiot in the race.
