On a local, southeast Alabama level I believe Bobby Bright may approach the named standard. I am willing to listen to counter opinions, but he has voted his conscience and not his party on several key issues. I believe he is now cosidered a "Blue Dog" Democrat.

My observation may be colored by the fact that I have observed him in other-than-political situations (our daughters played basketball together)and those of a political nature - but what I have observed seems to be a class act.

Plus, if you read his story he was nonpartisan until he ran for Mayor of Montgomery and subsequently Congress. His explanation of his choice to be a Democrat was that he felt like he could get more done that way.

And as an aside, when he was our Mayor, he got several very positive things started -- not the least of which has resulted in the resurgence of downtown Montgomery as a location of choice for nightlife and soon residence. The Renaissance Hotel, Wentzels, Dreamland, SaZa Italian eatery and the Alley Bar actually make it fun to go downtown at night now. My better half and I went down there the Friday night before the Auburn-Kentucky game (and Alabama State had a key home game as well the next day) and the place was absolutely teeming with good people having a good time. I credit Bobby Bright for having the vision to put the things in place that made it possible.

OK. Y'all tell me where I am all wet....:>)
