I'm not sure you can call this a republican issue. "Two of the previous five governors were convicted of crimes. (Former Republican governor Guy Hunt was convicted in 1993 for taking $200,000 from his inaugural fund for personal use, and former Democratic governor Don Siegelman is serving a seven-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2006 for corruption related to bribery.) The state's House speaker is on trial. Is this just yet another scandal for Alabama residents, or is this something more?"
