News from the Campaign Trails

Posted by Danny, on October 30th, 2008, at 4:16 pm

Let’s clear out some bits that have stacked up this week while I have been otherwise busy…

  • CQ Politics moved the AL-02 race between Democrat Bobby Bright and Republican Jay Love from “Leans Republican” to “No Clear Winner.”
  • The Rothenberg Political Report also moved the race to “pure toss up.”
  • Gov. Bob Riley came to Huntsville this week to endorse Wayne Parker in his AL-05 race against Democrat Parker Griffith. No doubt this is a good thing, though Alabama politicos will tell you that the next Riley-endorsed candidate to win an election may be the first.
  • According to a release from the NRCC, Fox News has noted that the NRCC is unhappy about WAAY pulling its ad: Fox News Channel’s Mike Emanuel says, “Well the NRCC that sponsored the ad calls the action of pulling the ad ‘obscene’ and claims the TV station is covering for the Democrat in the race by refusing to run an ad the other three TV stations in Huntsville are airing.”

More to come…

    Rumors are nice but facts have a crunch and aroma all their own.

This Thursday will mark the last day of the legislative Session.  For some, it was a Session that seemed would never end.  For others, it was one that ended much too quickly.  It may be early, yet, to write an obit on this Session, but as we approach the finish line, some perspective may be in order.

Putting Students First

By John Merrill on May 24, 2011

As you know, a very important piece of legislation will be presented for our consideration in the House tomorrow in Montgomery – Senate Bill 310 – the “Students First” tenure and fair dismissal reform bill. Like me, many House members have been inundated with phone calls and emails from opponents of this bill, and some have been [...]

Legislative Transparency

By Cam Ward on May 17, 2011

There are a lot of issues to debate before we begin the final days of this session. In fact, I am quite certain there will be some comments on this post debating many of them. Before we get into the last seven day of the session I wanted to bring up a topic that [...]
