Via the AP: Riley tops Moore in Alabama GOP race for governor
Republican Gov. Bob Riley turned back Alabama’s ousted Ten Commandments judge, Roy Moore, in the GOP primary Tuesday. On the Democratic side, Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley defeated former Gov. Don Siegelman, who spent election day standing trial on bribery charges.
With 99% of the vote counted, Riley trounced Moore 67-33 and Baxley crushed Siegelman 60-36.
Riley should be viewed as the clear favorite for November.
