Bama SBC, Crawford Broadcasting, and Future of Alabama

Rick and Bubba appear to me to be the biggest impediment to the candidacy of Artur Davis for Alabama's next governor and I doubt The Alabama Baptist Bob Terry nor http://www.alsbom.org/ Ex Dir Rick Lance will ever admit as much.
Birmingham Southern Proff Natalie Davis who teaches a course at Birmingham Southern on Bama Politics was spot on in an oped in yesterday's May 3, Bham News.
Here is what I said about that at bl.com. Just click on the link to see if anybody picks up the discussion there

I think a lot is to be made of Natalie Davis classroom discussion with radio talk show host Lee Davis (click on link above) of Crawford Broadcasting.She mentioned Pam Huff, a major ABC affiliate anchor in Bama and member of same church as Rick of Rick and Bubba who is a bellwether of Bama SBC politics these days, something of a poster child for the Convention, tilting away from OBama.This column is gonna have some legs.So here is the crux of character of Alabama.Will Rick Lance and Bob Terry speak as strongly to Crawford Broadcasting as they have to the Sweet Home Alabama Plan.
Will Pam Huff read Natalie DAvis's colleague Glen Feldman on Religion in the White South in the published collection of essays by that name which also includes Billy Graham political analyst on Nixon and Race in same collection.While at Crawford, Check out The History as well as The Stand linked below:http://www.crawfordbroadcasting.com/thestand.htm

And here is great link to Glenn Feldman's look at the way Crawford Broadcasting worked in an earlier reform movement in Alabama
It ain't hard to fill in the blanks and it ain't rocket science.

Scroll down to about page 297 for the Feldman article in this collection
Steven Miller's book on Graham and Nixon is a template for the current Gube race in Alabama with this time RickNBubba playin the Graham card of 1972.
Again it ain't rocket science to figger it out, and sad thing is Bob Terry and Rick Lance should know better.
