With demoCATS like this who needs republicans?

If you are going to continue enabling the republicans, at least change the name of your blog from Left in Alabama to Wrong in Alabama.

Sigh.  Here we go again, I hate it when democrats help republicans turn the good guys and gals into the bad guys and gals.

The Shirley Sherrodding of Nancy Worley.

You know the drill.

Leak spin to the media.

Right-wing blogs promote the meme.

Left in Alabama fall for the Okey-Doke.

Viola!  A scandal is created.

And who wins in the end?

Not liberal/progressive democrats that for sure.

Some of what BamaRainbow said.

I'm not trying to excuse Worley's behavior here but I'd be a bit more leery of believing anything that comes out of a REPUBLICAN operative's office.  Not all GOPers are technically incompetent but all the POLITICAL ones I've seen are unscrupulous when it comes to protecting their own power base.
When someone in the SOS's office can provide a SCREENCAP that shows BEYOND ANY DOUBT that Worley's email account actually received the email, I'll be a bit more willing to believe their story.  BUT,  bear in mind, it doesn't take much effort to fake ELECTRONIC documents.  Or has everyone sort of forgotten the recent attempt in Texas to alter video records of legislative debate?  The ONLY reason that was caught was because the streaming of the debate was being done live and records actually showed (at first) the correct information.  But internet watchers following the events found their ability to access the vote record suddenly (and inexplicably) vanished, and when it came back up, the record changed (in a "1984"-esque manner).  Now, that LIE perpetrated (and eventually admitted to) by Texas REPUBLICANS was only caught due to the diligence of people WATCHING THEM.  We don't have any sort of outside proof beyond--again--what was provided by REPUBLICANS. 
I'm surprised that anyone would take a Republican's word about anything.  But this website--knowing how completely two-faced and backstabbing this state's GOP can be--should be the LAST to take a Republican's word at face value.
Again.  Worley isn't exactly a favorite on this site but, without more evidence on the Republicans' side, I'm not willing to condemn Worley fully.  And really, countrycat, you can end a paragraph with the following and still keep a straight face:  " the one that did the party a HUGE favor by accepting the documents after the deadline."  Please.  Do you really think the Dems have a real chance at taking AL-1?  The Dems couldn't even GET a candidate to run in the last THREE elections.  And the Dems haven't managed to get better than 40% since 1988 when John Tyson pulled 40% against Sonny Callahan.  The GOP are only being so "magnanimous" because they can afford to be.  I'll guarantee you, if the GOP even so much as thought they could lose the district in a truly fair election, they wouldn't have been so willing to grant that "favor."

First of all, the headline says Alabama Democrats fail to meet deadline, but it should have read, Alabama Democrats miss filing deadline by 1 hour because the acting chairwoman of the Alabama Democratic Party didn't find out about the deadline until she received a call from a Democratic legislator after the deadline passed at noon Tuesday.

Instead of giving Worley the benefit of the doubt countrycat chose to believe what the republicans told the media. And it's a sorry spectacle that just further tarnishes the image of all Alabama Democrats.

Psst, countrycat!  Did the Alabama Democratic Majority meet the filing deadline?  Oh wait... first the Alabama Democratic Majority must have some candidates to meet the filing deadline.

Oh, and BamaRainbow, I do believe the Dems have a real chance at taking AL-1, that's why the GOP tried to pull a fast one over on the Alabama Democrat Party.  We owe the democratic legislator who called Nancy Worley and help foil their evil plan big time.
