 Posted by Danny, on August 23rd, 2006, at 4:02 pmThe Christian Coalition of Alabama is departing the national Christian Coalition because the national organization is too liberal. A new name and logo will be unveiled by November 1. Posted by Danny, on August 17th, 2006, at 9:46 pmThe best umpires and referees are invisible. No on-the-field arbiter wants to become part of the story. Unfortunately, Joe Reed (of the Alabama Democratic Conference) is becoming a bigger and bigger part of the story of whether Patricia Todd or Gaynelle Hendricks will be the winner of the HD 54 Democratic primary. Todd’s [...] Posted by Danny, on August 17th, 2006, at 2:21 pmNow that I have finished jury duty (just another pack animal in the caravan of justice), I’d like to look a little more at the Democrats’ proposed “Covenant for the Future.” Other bloggers have noted that the Democrats have moved toward the right with these proposals. I won’t go over [...] Posted by Danny, on August 16th, 2006, at 7:45 amState Democratic leadership toured the state yesterday promoting its “Covenant for the Future.” A good political move on their part it that it pre-empts the state Republicans’ “Contract with Alabama” expected in a week or two. Neither party wants to look like it is saying “Me, too” to the other party’s agenda [...] Posted by Danny, on August 15th, 2006, at 4:18 pmThe Democratic Party hearing for the challenge of Patricia Todd’s apparent victory over Gaynelle Hendricks in House District 54 has been delayed, probably until next week. The Associated Press has a piece on it, and Kathy at Birmingham Blues has a good write-up on it also. If you are going to read only [...] Posted by Danny, on August 15th, 2006, at 7:30 am

It was so unusual, I had to drive around the block to see it again. Posted by Danny, on August 14th, 2006, at 8:31 amThe challenge to Patricia Todd’s run-off victory over Gaynelle Hendricks in the House District 54 Democratic primary will be heard tomorrow morning. Hendricks’ mother-in-law filed the challenge that will be heard by Alabama Democrats. From what I understand, it is more likely than not that Todd’s victory will stand. I am told that Attorney General opinions [...] Posted by Danny, on August 14th, 2006, at 8:11 am Wal-Mart is known for supporting and promoting conservative community values. CD’s with explicit lyrics are carried in Wal-Mart only if the artist/label will produce a sanitized version. Magazines like Redbook have their suggestive covers obscured on the rack. Indeed, “Wal-Mart, based in a dry county in Arkansas, forbids drinking at events held [...] Posted by Danny, on August 14th, 2006, at 7:57 am My wife says she has never known anyone to be as excited to have jury duty as I am. Yeah, boy! Sure, sure, the stereotype is that jury duty is drudgery to be avoided at all costs, but… I was summoned for jury duty back when, but couldn’t go because I was out of town at [...] Posted by Danny, on August 13th, 2006, at 9:55 pmThis weekend The Birmingham News provides the strongest evidence yet of Riley’s “close and profitable relationship” with Riley’s former aide, convicted lobbyist Michael Scanlon. And while Riley can say he has “absolutely not” accepted any Choctaw gambling money, the story indicates that Choctaw gambling money is the source of Scanlon’s largesse toward Riley. Posted by Danny, on August 12th, 2006, at 11:13 pm15 year-old Alabamian Ava Lowery (of Peace Takes Courage fame) recently produced a new commercial for Rhode Island Democratic Senatorial candidate Carl Sheeler. I don’t know about you, but when I was 15, I was at summer camp. Posted by Danny, on August 11th, 2006, at 8:14 amJust a couple of more items to push through before we close the door on the Top 10 Most Interesting Questions to Be Answered by the Primary Elections. These are ten questions we asked before the primary election. Most were answered after the June election, and a few needed the [...] Posted by Danny, on August 11th, 2006, at 7:40 amThe Anniston Star has an editorial piece on “a few races you might want to watch.” It doesn’t seem to be behind their subscription wall. The Star points out a couple of races of particular interest to the Christian Coalition, and highlights key Senate races like SD 3 (Arthur Orr v. Bobby Day) and [...] |
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...
