MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark was endorsed Tuesday by several members of the Alabama Legislature.

State Sen. Jimmy Holley, D-Elba, said the retired Army general and former NATO supreme allied commander is the only candidate "with a proven record of success in wartime."

"The people of Alabama need and deserve a real leader in the White House who will not divide, but unite all Americans and lead us forward into a renewed era of peace and prosperity," Holley said.

Holley was joined at the news conference at the Alabama Statehouse by Sen. Tom Butler, D-Huntsville, and Rep. Thad McClammy, D-Montgomery. They said they were representing 15 lawmakers who support Clark.

11. 42% of Alabama voters chose Gore.

Alabama's one of the most heavily Republican states and yet Bush only won with 56.47%. That's not a huge margin. This is why I tell people to drop the business about "writing off the South." We're not as uniformly Republican as people think.

The Diplomat and Ambassador story, this particular one, Lt. Gov of Wisconsin, so on and so forth. How long can they ignore the man?
