Good to see Harvey Jackson in the daily headlines. His books, along with those of Wayne Flynt, should be required reading for every Alabamian.

Might be worth politicking the local school board to have at least one of their books required reading for high school students.

Never will forget Page Walley running the 2000 campaign of former Tennessee Lt Governor/State Senator John Wilder(D). Some said he got mad at the GOP for chopping up his house seat in a special redistricting map but others said he was a RINO from the start. Whatever the case, he went all over the district that summer attacking Savannah Mayor Bob Shutt(R). He would call radio shows in Jackson and Memphis bragging about how many Wilder signs were in the yards of people who had Bush signs up.
