This “black Democrat family meeting” later today potentially has “party headache” written all over it. However, when the invitations were sent in the aftermath of Patricia Todd securing the Democratic Party nomination for HD 54 Representative (against the wishes of “family meeting” organizer Joe Reed), emotions were higher than they are now.
Look for [...]

I hear that results of an independent poll will be coming out (probably this weekend) that show Folsom ahead of Strange, perhaps at or beyond the margin of error.

If the conflict of a small town newspaper versus a small town mayor interests you, then there is a somewhat curious story in Hanceville, Alabama (population 2,947 in 2002). Some of the details include the editor/publisher being forcibly removed from a city council meeting, a lawsuit for $1 million, a countersuit, plus a [...]

I can’t say it any better than Birmingham Blues, Between the Links, or Alablawg already have.

 Google Trends lets you compare search volumes for multiple terms.
I have never in my memory seen a team take every snap of a quarter like Auburn did in the third quarter last night.
Comparing the number of searches for Tuberville and Spurrier… I guess Tuberville doesn’t get the respect.

Want to make $1000 and help connect elected U.S. legislators to their constituents? The Sunlight Network is offering $1000 to anyone who can persuade a member of Congress to sign the Punch Clock Agreement and put his or her daily schedule online. Seven legislators so far have agreed.

 I know that convicted lobbyist and former Riley aide Michael Scanlon has an …umm… unusual sense of propriety: he used what he called the “wackos” of the Christian right for his own personal and political gain, he and his partner Jack Abramoff defrauded Indian tribes of $80 million plus, and after the two [...]

FYI: here is an ad from Democratic Candidate for Chief Justice, Sue Bell Cobb.
In it, she names things that set her apart from her opponent, Republican Drayton Nabers.
As an aside, do state Republicans use YouTube? I’ve not seen any of their ads there.

Joe Reed, Frank Matthews has got you covered.
Frank Matthews copied me on some email intended for Rick Sellers saying that he (Matthews) would debate Rick Sellers any place, any time – presumably including on the air on Matthews’ radio show.
Republican consultant Rick Sellers challenged Joe Reed, the vice chairman of the [...]

Like Noah and his neighbors, Georgia’s Christian Coalition and the national organization are waving goodbye with no plans to see one another again.
This is the fourth state group to leave the national Christian Coalition. Alabama’s group jumped or was pushed last month.

I remember meeting Hinton for the first time while I was a student at Auburn University. He served the people of his [...]

Alabama Line |
The Alabama Line is being updated and will return perhaps as soon as the first week of February.
The Alabama Line and its contents are the creation of Doc’s Political Parlor, reflect consensus from insiders and well-connected folks on both sides of the aisle, and will be updated as conditions change. These odds are meant to inform, entertain, and provoke, not to serve as actual means for losing money. Permission granted to use this material if PoliticalParlor.net is cited as the source.
