Barron, Bedford, Mitchem, Figures, Sanders, and the whole crew are going to focus on trying to redraw the 3rd District (Mike Rogers, R) so that it is even more favorable for the Democrats. They felt they should have that seat anyway bur after Joe Turnham in '02, no one has even come close to making a run for it. There has been talk of putting West Montgomery (which is 99% black and currenly in the the second district) in Rogers' district. This would add 50,000 or so black voters and would make things more difficult for Republicans. Again, this is all pure speculation and nothing is certain, I'm sure. Only rumors as of now.

Anonymous #1, I have been reassured by an attendee that there were definitely enough Democratic legislators, particularly House members, to have a meeting. Many of the Senate members came over from another conference down the beach that was sponsored by the trial lawyers. LOL, Brian.

Can you imagine Lowell Barron cocking his head high and rubbing this in the face of the GOPers? This will take partisanship to a whole new level in the legislature. I bet certain GOPers are already on the phone to the Justice Dept. begging them to indict Lowell and Roger for something. Oh I hope its true. Can you imagine Lowell Barron cocking his head high
