When one of the longest serving state legislators, a Democrat his entire life, leaves the Democrat party, you know the future of the Democrats in Alabama is in serious question. Maybe the state Democrats should’ve decided against funding a primary challenger against Holley in 2006.
Gov. Bob Riley welcomed state senator Jimmy Holley into the Republican fold Thursday night by handing him a tie covered in tiny elephants.Holley’s party switch has been rumored for weeks, particularly on Web sites such as Doc’s Political Parlor.
