From oanow.com:
The Alabama Republican Party just completed a primary campaign cycle that, I believe, leaves us perfectly poised for victory against Democrats in the fall. An emerging field of impressive legislative candidates, an exciting gubernatorial run-off that will keep conservative Republican principles and ideas in the headlines and a Democratic nominee for governor who campaigned with convicted felons and expressed strong vocal support for Obamacare are all positive signs for the ALGOP.
Evidence of a Republican surge became clear when total turnout figures reveal that 61 percent of primary voters participated in the GOP election as opposed to 39 percent who cast Democratic ballots — a difference of almost 173,000 votes. Just as the success and popularity of sports teams can be judged by attendance at their games, so, too, can the viability of political parties be judged by turnout in statewide primary elections.
