Maybe Troy felt naked with his flak jacket. THAT’s why he kept scanning the crowd!

Or maybe he thought he heard something buzzing…

As for King being a supporter of a different campaign….don’t they (Republicans) always fall in line behind who they perceive as the winner? Democrats probably do the same thing so this isn’t a swipe at Republicans.

Didn’t Troy attend a fundraiser for Fred Thompson a few months ago when McCain wasn’t doing so well in the polls?

The real problem was that Troy wanted his son to lead the pledge and Minda wanted her son, so neither one got to do it.

My understanding is that Troy King “blew up” because the Riley folks were trying to get Riley to be the introducer, in spite of the fact that King, not Riley, is an active supporter of McCain’s. Anyway, it was just pettiness on both sides, I’m sure.

I was at the event on Saturday and I can tell you that the “people close to the event” were the Guv’s people (David, Tim, Don, etc.), not King’s, so I think you should take what you heard from them with a grain of salt.

Frankly, I think the whole thing was just a microcosm of the petty, consultant-driven in-fighting that is presently plaguing the GOP and is getting very, very old for folks involved in the GOP on the grassroots level.

I noticed the same thing about King — he was stonefaced. I wonder if it had to do with his hope of getting some tough-guy footage for a future campaign commercial, especially as McCain praised him for prosecuting the internet child pornographers.

Whatever the reason, King is a doofus.

I don’t recall our illustrious Attorney General being on the McCain bandwagon when McCain joined the Governor in a tour of the state a while back. I was in Demopolis for the annual Black Belt Commission meeting and I don’t recall Troy being in attendance then. Oh that’s right, McCain had yet to officially announce his candidacy so I guess there wasn’t any political spotlight for Troy to attempt to usurp.
The appointment of Troy King is the single greatest political mistake Riley has made since taking office.

why are you surprised? this is the same person who solicited favors from roy johnson while his office and other agencies were investigating the 2 year college corruption. Of the 3 headlines concerning King in 08… Johnny Cash sing along, Flak Jackets, and now this… Does anyone see a siegelman-like pattern. we could have a narcissistic meglomaniacal little hitler on our hands.

Well the Guv was not shy about get his picture on the front page of the B’Ham news with Huckabee a few days ago. I think Guv Bob wanted his cake and icing too. He wants to be on the front page with anybody. It really doesn’t matter with who as long as the Riley name stands out. I can understand a little why Troy was tore up. He had been there from day one and the Guv was trying to steal the spotlight. I am sure the Guv did not mean it that way. (cynical smile) Stan Pate is as crazy as a run over dog. Can you imagine that man wanted to be Governor??? He and Charles Bishop would have kicked or punched (well maybe tried to kick) every rear end that did not agree with them. That guy needs to learn manners and what it is to be a statesman. It’s men like him and Bishop that keep Alabama in the running for the Redneck of the Year award

If you want to hide something from Troy King . . . put it in a law book.

I bet Pate paid for King’s camera crew
