That went just about as well as I could have hoped

al.com: Elections

"Troy King" won, which is profoundly disappointing. But Jim Folsom Jr. held on to become Lieutenant Governor for the second time, and set himself up for a try at becoming Governor for the second time in four years. (Or he could inherit the office again; if Riley wasn't on the VP short list already he is now, what with being one of only about six Republicans to win last night.)

And Sue Bell Cobb won the Supreme Court Chief Justice race, which I never really allowed myself to hope for. I don't know what a Chief can do surrounded by eight Republicans, but it will be interesting.

Nancy Worley lost Sec. of State. I held my nose and voted for her, but I can't say I'm disappointed.
