Huh.
I really don't know what to think about this. Perhaps things are really, really bad for Alabama farms. But boy, Dale Peterson means business!
P.S. I don't know when (probably in August), but I'm going to be putting money down in the Iowa Electronic Markets for the Democrats to retain control in both houses. That's selling at 56 cents right now (for a dollar contract in November, if true.) Hopefully, the price doesn't keep going up.

I nearly fell off my chair when the gun came out. Where are the quality Alabama Agricultural Commissioner candidates?
I haven't read the press coverage, but I assume that he is a fringe candidate.

The race for the Republican nomination for Alabama Agriculture Commissioner appears headed toward a runoff.
With 60 percent of the vote counted, former Alabama Forestry Association executive vice president John McMillan had 37 percent of the vote and farmer Dorman Grace of Jasper 34 percent. McMillan was short of the 50 percent of the vote needed to avoid a runoff.
Hoover businessman Dale Peterson was running in third place Tuesday night. McMillan and Grace were the much better financed candidates, but Peterson received national attention and ridicule from an in-your-face ad on YouTube where he rode a horse, carried a gun and promised to run "thugs and criminals" out of state government.
