Preface
This was originally posted (and has been re-promoted a couple of times) over at Left in Alabama several weeks ago. For now only two people seek the Democratic nomination for Governor: Agriculture Commissioner Sparks and Congressman Artur Davis.
I make no apologies to my Yankee friends for a couple of the things mentioned below. As the "advice" provided is tailored to Alabama statewide candidates, any Southerner will "get" why the digs are legitimate. Of course, 98.3% of what's said applies to candidates and their respective campaigns throughout These United States.
