AL Political Reporter: “Last Wednesday morning was supposed to be different. A modest, but notable difference signaling the beginning of something new.
A new era for Alabama Democrats. A post-midterm era with a handful of victories, just enough to give an infusion of hope.
But that didn’t happen. Instead, we witnessed a stark reminder of Politics 101. Successful campaigns need more than just good, willing candidates. They need money for signs, advertising, staffing and transportation. They need resources to create events and get out the vote. They need a network of support.
Which means they need a functional, statewide party. And the Alabama Democratic Party is anything but that.”
