We ain't exactly united at this point then, wouldn't you say? As a people or a party?

Frank Matthews is really good about saying pretty awful, unproven things about Congressman Davis. Oh and one more thing.

Not referring to this particular story of tearing Artur down. And I'm not so sure if the story focuses on moving beyond race. I know that Mayor Arrington refers to moving beyond race, but the comments on the thread talks about race. That's where my comment is coming from. I understand you were assigned to cover Sparks. However, you made a personal comment about your dealings with Davis. I'm only responding to that and the other comments on here. Most comments seemed to be one-sided. Just offering a different perspective. Great dialogue! And good article. Just not so sure that Arrington speaks for all African Americans in the state of Alabama. Gotcha.

I don't see anyone torn down in this story. It's just event coverage of the Arrington-Sparks endorsement. Pretty straight stuff if you ask me. Davis doesn't answer questions on the phone or e-mail. He doesn't want to be covered? OK by me. Reporters are usually assigned to cover one candidate anyway. I was ready to cover Folsom, but he decided not to run...
