From the MontgomeryAdvertiser.com:
Alabama Republicans have picked up another key seat in the Legislature and another impressive win heading toward the general election later this year.
Republican K.L. Brown won a seat that had been in Democratic hands for generations. He won by almost 14 percentage points, receiving more than 55 percent of the vote.
More impressive for Republicans is now, with 45 members in the Alabama House of Representatives, they are eight seats away from a majority in the chamber for the first time in more than a century.
Taking control of the Legislature was the target of Republicans when they launched Campaign 2010 and started collecting the funding and putting together a plan.
