Today, the Committee approved a resolution, offered by Griffith, calling on TVA to build a second two unit nuke power plant in Jackson County. All the Ds are stampeding toward drilling and nukes, yet their imperious leaders refuse to even allow a vote. Here is a link to AP story. It fails to mention that Griffith is both a candidate for Congress and a Democrat. http://www.al.com/newsflash/regional/index.ssf?/base/news-37/121788324276450.xml&storylist=alabamanews From what I read about the Alabama Legislature’s Energy Policy Committee Senator Griffith is acting like a R in that setting too.

If he ran as a republican with a D for state senate and then acted like this when he got to Montgomery - why do people expect him to behave differently in Washington.
