BACHUS IN THE ALABAMA PRIMARY: The biggest Congressional race this week. A Tea Partier vs. an insider-trading incumbent that Andrew Breitbart wanted beaten.

UPDATE: A Birmingham reader disagrees: “I wish you wouldn’t tout Scott Beeson in the race against Spencer Bachus. Beeson, imho, is an idiot, whose racially insensitive remarks made while wearing a wire in a huge corruption trial here probably went far in allowing the defendants to go scot free. (The retrial resulted in acquittals last week.) Beeson was also the driving force behind the immigration law here that has, so far, resulted in the harassment of foreign engineers, bad press for the state, etc. I fully intend to vote for Bachus over Beeson, and let the ethics charges about his trading stock play out.”
