 Posted by Danny, on October 31st, 2006, at 1:49 pmI am hearing now from a solid source that ALFA has declined to endorse any candidate for Governor or Lt. Governor. In 2002, the ALFA endorsed Republicans Bob Riley for Governor and Bill Armistead for Lt. Governor, but not this year.

I expected to see angry, organized opposition to Amendment Two, but so far it has not happened. Posted by Danny, on October 31st, 2006, at 7:28 amI don’t have anything to add to what has already been said in the blogosphere regarding last night’s debates. (Confession: they are yet unseen on my Tivo.) Wade on Birmingham and Jeff at Politics in Alabama were live blogging the gubernatorial debate (Jeff also did lt. gov. and AG race debates).

The race for Probate Judge Place 1 in Jefferson County between Republican former state representative Mark Gaines and Democrat Alan King started interesting and is getting more so. (Here is a good introduction to the story from Bob Archibald of The Birmingham News.) Gaines is the incumbent after [...] Posted by Danny, on October 27th, 2006, at 8:29 amYou may remember Terri Willingham Thomas, the Republican Candidate for Alabama Court of Civil Appeals with family ties to white supremacist groups (whose beliefs she has never repudiated).

I remember meeting Hinton for the first time while I was a student at Auburn University.
