Posted by The Democratic National Convention in Denver will have a “State Blogger Corps,” one per state, that will be credentialed and seated alongside the state delegations at the Convention in Denver. When I applied for the Political Parlor to represent Alabama there, I thought the Clinton-Obama drama might create a convention even more exciting than most, but that part of the story now looks to be finished by convention time. Regardless, I am glad to learn that the Parlor has been accepted as Alabama’s credentialed blog at the Democratic National Convention.

ChangeI wish my friend Hinton Mitchem godspeed and good luck after his retirement from public service. Hinton, on Monday, announced what many had suspected — he will not seek re-election. I remember meeting Hinton for the first time while I was a student at Auburn University. He served the people of his [...] Ten Minutes in the House, Senate Moves On Here is a quick preview of the upcoming week in Montgomery. This week will be a standard legislative schedule for the House. We will be in session on Tuesday and Thursday with committee meetings scheduled for Wednesday. Back in the Day...

The Alabama Line is being updated and will return perhaps as soon as the first week of February. The Alabama Line and its contents are the creation of Doc’s Political Parlor, reflect consensus from insiders and well-connected folks on both sides of the aisle, and will be updated as conditions change.

Danny, Congratulations on your selection. It is well deserved.
Congrats!
Congrats, Take it slow and easy the first day or so until you get acclimated. Smog and high altitude don’t mix well.
Should be interesting.
Congratulations Danny!
Congrats
That is awesome! Congrats! I know you will provide us with a fascinating account of the events that unfold.
Congratulations! Go West and make us proud, young man.
congrats – however, somewhere in locust fork, Glyn Wilson is sitting in a dark padded room surrounded by birds, & chugging boones farm to dull the pain of not being chosen. i mean, how could they overlook the guy that exposed karl rove, freed siegelman and made dana jill simpson a national hero? hope you’re happy danny, crushing the dreams of such an icon.
Congrats Danny – good work. We’ll anxiously await your reports!
Are you going to the Republican Convention too? I believe May 15 is the deadline for blogger applications.
Congratulations, Danny! I look forward to your reports.
Thank you, folks, for the kind words.
Anonymous in #8, I actually had occasion to meet Glynn for the first time recently, and he was quite nice. A good guy. I have no idea if he even applied for this, but if he were to attend, he would serve his audience well.
Mooncat, I would love to go to the GOP Convention. Many real-life considerations made it feasible to only go to one convention, so I applied for the one where I thought the action would be. The GOP race effectively ended much earlier, and the Dems had talk of a floor-fight or a deadlock at the convention. Plus, the Democrats were overall more intentional about encouraging bloggers to attend (arranging for one per state and more, etc.).
However, if you knew somebody who wanted to underwrite a second trip…
Danny, well-heeled Republicans are your best bet for underwriting a trip to the GOP Convention. I’m afraid I don’t have much influence with that crowd so you’re on your own.
