Let us know in the comments if we’re missing some good reactions from elected officials, talking heads, or other Alabamians.
Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard:
“To paraphrase President Ford, our long national nightmare continues. Tonight’s disappointing vote guarantees us four more years of bloated federal government, mounting national debt and the on-going erosion of our freedoms and liberties by an increasingly liberal Supreme Court. My fellow Republican lawmakers and I are ready to stand in the breach and defend our rights and Alabama values from the attacks that Obama will continue to launch in our direction.”
Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey:
“Mitt Romney is a proven leader. He delivered a strong and clear message to Americans providing a path for real change. This is not the result for which I had hoped, but I am proud to have served as his Alabama campaign chairman. The election is now over and as patriotic Americans we need to unite behind our elected leaders and do our part to bring jobs to the people of Alabama.”
