That whether the results are [...] Posted by Eddie, on March 12th, 2010, at 11:08 am Coming in with the second edition of who had a good week in Alabama this week, and who didn’t. Good Week Troy King – yesterday the Alabama Attorney General found out he was cleared of a federal grand jury investigation. None of us really know what exactly the grand jury was investigating, but nonetheless has to [...] Posted by Eddie, on March 5th, 2010, at 1:30 pmGlad to have the opportunity to chime in on the Parlor, and thought I’d start things off with a list. Lists are fun, easy, comprehensible, fulfill our desire for structure and order. For lack of a better term, we’ll call this one “Good Week/Bad Week” – who or what in Alabama has had a good [...] Posted by Danny, on February 26th, 2010, at 4:54 pm Let’s run through some items.

Posted by Danny, on February 4th, 2010, at 1:09 pm Re-districting is looming on the horizon beyond this year’s census. (Natalie Davis gives us some good reading about the national implications here.) Want to re-draw the state’s Congressional district lines? Maybe give Republican Mike Rogers a boost in AL-03, or add some Dems to AL-02? Some state politicos have been having a [...] Posted by Danny, on January 28th, 2010, at 1:50 pm Farm-PAC (the PAC for the Alabama Farmers Federation, also known not quite correctly as ALFA) released its endorsements today for the June primaries.

He circulated an email explaining to friends his decision to withdraw. That email made its way to the Parlor, and he has given permission for me to reprint it here. I suspect most of [...] Posted by Danny, on January 5th, 2010, at 3:38 pmQuentin Riggins has left the Business Council of Alabama where he served as its Senior Vice President for Governmental Affairs to open his own independent outfit.

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.
