Looks like the Britt camp celebrated a little early. Brooks' resurgence is pretty unexpected.

2. All I want to know is if that defeat makes him more or less...

But can he make up 15 points by June?

9. Wow, that's a huge shift. Britt was ahead by more than 20% with 68% reporting.

Just before 11 p.m., with 81.5% of the votes counted according to the Associated Press, Britt had 265,812 votes, or 45.3%, Brooks had 167,714 votes, or 28.6% and Mike Durant had 136,707 votes, or 23.3%. Others in the GOP primary were Jake Schafer, 1.2%, and Karla Dupriest 0.9%.

7. Looks like Mo needs to take his body armor and go home.

14. Britt might be more nuts than Mo Brooks

Here's what she just said:

“It is clear tonight that Alabamians want new blood. They want someone to go to Washington, D.C., and shake it up. It is clear that they want a true Christian conservative Republican who will lead on the America first agenda and doesn’t just talk about it but knows how to actually get something done,” Britt told supporters gathered in Montgomery.
