The Minority Democrats on OTR

The longest serving member of the legislature..Representative Alvin Holmes (unofficially called The Dean of the legislature), and one of the freshmen...Representative Joe Hubbard (elected Minority Whip this past week) are the guests on Sunday's On The Record program on CBS-8 in Montgomery.

     You can watch the program on-air in Montgomery just before 60 Minutes...5:30pm, Sunday afternoon. The conversation includes this week's Special Session (which had not been officially been called when we taped the interview), the regular session in March, and, of course, Party Politics, with Democrats in a  minority position for the first time since Republicans established themselves in the state. Note: I did not write "for the first time in over a hundred years" as you see tossed around all the time. The Democrats during almost all of that century were politically what the Republicans are now. George Wallace was a Democrat. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
