You have to understand Alabama politics to understand how important this switch is and why at all costs Griffith has to win that primary. I have retired from working and haven’t been on a campaign in several years and hadn’t been looking to do it.
I’m willing to go up to Huntsville and rent a dingy apartment for a year if my being there is necessary to get Griffith re-elected as a Republican. That I’m willing to give up fishing and waking up at noon tells you how serious this is and how vital it is.
The link at the source has the Republican ad they ran against Griffith with audio of him saying "America's greatest enemy is America and its materialism. We have nothing to fear from radical Islam."
You're willing to give up fishing to campaign for somebody with those views?
Why?!?
I live in his district, I do not want that man in office! He is not a conservative, he will be another Snowe job. Yes, admittedly he has voted with Repubs. lately, but he has been put under tremendous pressure to do so. We have 2-3 that are running in this area that would do better in the office, one who really has a chance to win. His polling has been better than Griffiths’.
