"The reddest electorate in red-state Alabama arguably resides in Baldwin County, home to some of the state’s most conservative voters.

How red? Start with the fact that not a single Democrat qualified to run for any elected office in Baldwin County this year. If that doesn’t speak volumes, consider a recent exchange from a candidate forum in Fairhope.

Congressional candidates Pete Riehm and Dean Young, are challenging Rep. Jo Bonner in the March 13 Republican Party primary. Riehm and Young were asked if they would commit to introducing articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama. Both gave a resounding “yes,” drawing vigorous approval from the crowd.
“Pure demagoguery,” said conservative columnist Quin Hillyer, who served as moderator for the event, when I later asked him for his reaction. "

Baldwin County.
That's where I live.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry.
