On this day:

"Women for Siegelman" founder says "Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do"

Pam Miles, the founder of Don Siegelman's newest fan club, tells the Mobile Register that she hasn't heard gubernatorial candidate Lucy Baxley "take a position on much of anything." It's good to see that a few Dems are taking notice of that fact.

The "Women for Siegelman" have also shown that they're not above a little name-trashing...literally. In a recruitment letter, Miles refers to Lt. Gov. Baxley as "Lucy Baxley-Smith." That's sure to raise some eyebrows, since...
Lucy Baxley was married to former Lt. Gov. Bill Baxley and kept his name when the couple divorced. She married lobbyist Jim Smith after she was elected state treasurer, but opted to keep the Baxley surname, she has explained, because that is the way voters know her. (Mobile Register)
This could get messy, folks.
