Riley's and the Republican's political operative Dax Swatek- the repubs and the indians dumbed a ton of money into an effort in 2006 to defeat State Rep. Terry Spicer--in addition to money the repubs threw every thing but the kitchen sink at Spicer. Despite dump trucks of campaign contributions from Birmingham and Washington, DC and thousands and thousands of untrackable indian money they still could not defeat Spicer. Swatek was the lead consultant who had political operatives in and out of the district for over a year attempting to dig up dirt on Spicer. When they could not dig up anything legit they went to the tried and true Swatek tactic of lying. Swatek and the Mike Hubbard cronies not only made personal attacks on Spicer himself they then drug his spouse into the mix. Spicer's own children were subjected to all types of harrassment which was spearheaded by Swatek. It is widely known in Montgomery Swatek not only is a snot-nosed want-a-be political consultant who lives off the wallet and influence of Billy Canary. Swatek and his presidential horse John McCain should stick to what they know which is coming up with ways to further pad the pocketbook of Governor Riley's son Rob Riley. I will give Swatek and the repubs credit for one thing--they are the best at putting out senseless press releases that really look good. Look long enough and you will find Swatek right at the table with Billy Canary, the Justice Department, and Riley--Mike Hubbard is sweeping up their crumbs after dinner- He is a good servant.

He might be the great White hope for Alabama in general, and the Democratic party in particular. Didn’t Larry Darby announce after his near-victory last year?

The way he performed down here in Baldwin County, seems like he should be out losing a race and not posting on a blog.

When you use Democrat Party or Democrat Committee, when you mean DemcratIC Party or DemocratIC Committee, you out yourself as a Republican. Good try though.

If the current Alabama Dems are so defeatist that we can't come up with a good candidate for an open seat, in what is shaping up as another Democratic wave election, we need to step aside and let some new Democrats take over the party.
