Parker Griffith the traitor goes down in flames on primary day

[Ed Barrow]

Hi everyone. I live in Alabama House District 5 which means that right now I'm represented by Parker Griffith. I'm sure you remember how he went over to the dark side last year. I just wanted to let all of you know that in the GOP primary today Griffith got wiped out by a Tea Party guy named Mo Brooks. So after his term is up this fall I think pretty fair to say that we'll probably never hear from Griffith ever again.

And just so you know, the good guy in all of this is named Steve Raby. He easily won the Democratic nomination today. Neither primary produced a runoff so Raby will face Brooks in November. Go Raby!

3. Turnout info?

How many votes did Raby get? How many Dem votes total? How many total Republican votes? How many for Brooks?

It's good to see Parker is out of it. What are Raby's chances?

And thanks for the info!

6. Excellent news! I always love to see party traitors get their rewards....

Had he stayed a Democrat, he'd likely be facing a tough-but winnable-race. Oh well....
