Few states have as colorful a political history as Alabama, especially in the post-World War II era. Some politicians--like George Wallace, Big Jim Folsom, Lister Hill, Frank M. Johnson Jr., or Howell Heflin--became national figures and shaped the state's image, for better or worse. Others--like Rankin Fite, Roger Bedford, Paul Hubbert, Bill Baxley, or John Patterson--have been known mostly in Alabama but have had an equally profound impact on the state. All of these figures are immortalized in Alabama political lore, with tales both tall and factual surrounding their colorful lives. There could be no better guide to this colorful history than political columnist and commentator Steve Flowers.
