To the chagrin of Parker Griffith, 2008 GOP nominee for U.S. Rep., Wayne Parker, is endorsing Madison County Commissioner Mo Brooks instead of the party anointed convert Parker Griffith:
"I thought this was the best way to support and elect a consistent conservative voice for North Alabama," Parker said in an interview after making the announcement at a morning news conference. "I have endorsed Mo Brooks and asked those who supported me in the past to consider supporting Mo."I am sure Mo will be really happy about this, but I don't know that it changes the race all that much. Mo and Les still have an up hill challenge in defeating Griffith with the party establishment behind him.
