I haven’t been reading many blogs recently at all, and I just now read through some of the posts at the Legislative Dispatch at Doc’s Political Parlor. Senators Rusty Glover (R) and Parker Griffith (D) join Representatives Chris England (D) and Cam Ward (R) to blog about political life. I’ve only met the two reps, but I can confidently say that Mr. England and Mr. Ward will be great additions to the Bama blogosphere. I particularly enjoyed Chris England’s most recent post, but maybe that’s because he’s from my neck of the woods.

Of course, Rep. Mike Ball (R) is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met and contributes here at Daily Dixie. He also garners more average comments per post than anyone here except guest contributor Alabama Moderate. (I think it’s time for another post, Mike).

I guess I should finish up the list as I know it. Patricia Todd (D) contributes at Birmingham Blues and Greg Canfield (R) breaks the mold by blogging on his own website. I should probably start a “Blogging legislators” list on my linkbar.

Dare I point out that of these 7 legislators who’ve taken the initiative to be more open and accessible to their constituents, all but 1 is expected to vote for the Gourmet Beer Bill this year? And Rusty Glover isn’t a known “no” vote. I just haven’t heard about him yet.
