1. that is encouraging

Though the sample size of 400 is not.

2. The sample size is OK if the sample is random across all strata of the

voting population.

3. Thank Goddess...

...I guess I'll hold my nose and vote Republican for Riley in the primary. Then I will immediately have to go home, take an antibiotic, scrub with clorox and then shower. :-)

4. Let the Repigs

have their own little bloodfest. May it be the ugliest Repiglican primary in Alabama in ages!

Adding votes their primary total only encourages them. Stay with your party. Add to ITS primary tally. Then work like the dickens for the Democratic nominee in the general.

A Democrat in the Governor's Mansion in Alabama would send a HUGE signal to the rest of the south (and the nation) that the age of Crony Conservatism is OVER.
