Analyzing Alabama’s primary results
We analyze the results of Alabama’s most hotly contested primaries: from the races of Rep. Parker Griffith who switched parties to become a Republican in 2009, to Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, who was attempting to become the state’s first African American nominee to governor, to two candidates who saw their fortunes rise with some particularly colorful campaign ads. Pat Duggins, News Director for Alabama Public Radio, fills us in on Alabama’s primary results and their significance.
