Were the other four candidates for the board former Senators. Is there any chance that some of those voting against Dial were doing so for political reasons?

Hardly a ringing endorsement of Dial by those who know best how effective he was in the Senate. (The other four to be confirmed at the same time passed 29-0.) Gerald constantly talks about his "initiatives." Can anyone tell the rest of us what just one of them is and what success it has had. Of course, this is the same guy who loves to tell folks that he was a General in the National Guard. Only problem, he was never confirmed at the Federal level which means he was never a "real" General.

Senator Gerald Dial is the most electable person for State Senate in District 13. Even more than Kim Benefield. She won't run. If she does, she can't win. I think she knows that. She's there by the slick underhanded politics of Lowell Barron and his group! Won't happen again!!! Dial can win as either a democrat or as a republican. He should run as a republican, since he's been one for quite some time now. I think it's just a matter of him deciding if he wants his job back or not. I think he will! Everyone else is just waiting to see what he does, before they make a decision to jump in. Kim Benefield is a Lowell Barron pawn! Has done nothing for her district while in the Senate. Just a vote to keep Barron and his group in power! A vote that will be on the other side of the isle next term! Farewell Senator Benefield, and welcome to the minority Senator Barron! The national trend is democrat. Of course, bass ackward Alabama is and does go right the opposite of the nation! The republicans will control the Alabama State Senate during the next term!
