Ron Sparks Makes Campaign Connections?

Posted by Danny, on May 9th, 2007, at 8:29 am

Ron SparksOur state’s Democratic Agricultural Commissioner Ron Sparks has the look of a man laying the groundwork for a U.S. Senate run. The Political Parlor has learned that among his other appointments in Washington this week, Sparks set aside time in his schedule to meet with long time media guru Karl Struble.

Struble’s outfit stays busy in campaigns all over the country. Alabamians buzzed about the folksy ad (“probably the best of the year” in Alabama) that Struble created for Jim Folsom’s winning campaign for Lt. Governor (“I have 2 great kids, 3 dogs, 4 shotguns. I go to church every Sunday and never have played tennis at the Mountain Brook Club.”)

    [...] He’s making us wait for it.  Danny at Doc’s Political Parlor reports that Sparks met with media guru Karl Struble while he was in Washington this week, where he was also “likely to” visit with the DNC.  OTOH, I heard a longtime Democratic insider say recently that Sparks wouldn’t challenge Jeff Sessions for his Senate seat unless he was unopposed in the Democratic primary.  State Sen.

Be Careful What You Ask For

By Rep. Cam Ward on August 23, 2010

Alabama just finished one of the bizarre primary election cycles in recent memory. I mean really, who would have ever thought 12 months ago that Ron Sparks and Robert Bentley would have been facing off against one another for the big prize?

Regardless of Political Stripes Vote Tomorrow

By Rep. Cam Ward on May 31, 2010

Call me a political junkie, but I am fascinated by the whole electoral process—what age group votes most often, what issues motivate them and what media outlet is the most effective. While all of my interest in the political world is a hobby [...]
