ELECTIONS

I, for one, am beyond glad the elections are over! Not too many surprises. I was sick to death of the mudslinging--especially the campaigns of Drayton Nabors, Luther Strange and John Tyson. I'm glad Troy King was re-elected because he supports law enforcement and having lost a nephew in the line of duty, I want someone tough on crime. Riley has done a good job and I am glad he's back. And I welcome back Jim, Jr. I would rather take my chances with him than someone who never discussed issues--just mudslinging.

And it warms the cockles of my heart to have a woman as Alabama's Chief Justice. But, with all of them, we have entrusted them with our values and I say we need to hold their feet to the fire.

At least we'll have a two-year respite from the tawdry mudslinging, I hope. Lord knows, it will take two years to clean up all the signage.
