Blue Sparks Launches as Discontent with Sessions Grows
An interesting website to say the least. The Alabama Senate race for 2008 has started to gain a lot of blogger attention over the last month or so. The rise of Ron Sparks as the logical successor to the failed tenure of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III has started circulating around the country and in Alabama itself. It was only a matter of time before an unofficial blog popped up.
For those of you who don't know Ron Sparks is the Agriculture Commissioner of Alabama. He's term limited, but extremely popular for a Democrat in a blood red state like Alabama. (In the last election he won 59-41). He has the one skill that seems beyond the realm for your average Republican candidate for office, competence.
What's been amazing is that Commissioner Sparks has seen the potential of giving Alabamians real representation in Congress and being the dedicated public servant that he is, he sees the damage being done by Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III. Despite the commonly held belief by Republicans that they own the Red States, the reality is that if they want real representation of their interests they are going to have to send Democrats to represent them.
