Forecast for Senate race: Nasty and getting nastier
The Sun Herald, 8/17/8 They say politics makes strange bedfellows. Well, it makes strange enemies, too.

SNOWDEN – A Political “Education” – alleges state tax dollars funding Rep’s DNC trip
A Political “Education” Delegates and alternates should pay our own way. Both parties have better uses for their funds, and it’s not as if anyone in either party would expect THE TAXPAYER to foot the bill for their purely political fun and games. Or, would they?

Hey, coach: open your eyes, close your doors Tommy Tuberville did some things the past two Saturdays that were not unprecedented but, taken in their totality, were totally out of sync with his media-friendly reputation.
