Ahead of the main AL Dems meeting, everyone is talking about the Nancy Worley butt-dial last night, in which Worley discusses with Joe Reed strategy for fighting the reconstituted executive committee. (Thread)
In the call, Worley all but says her faction is beaten and after today she'll need a U-haul to move her stuff out of the Alabama Democratic Party HQ. She especially seems concerned about money they need to pay their lawyers.
You can't hear Reed, but it seems he wants her to take out a loan for legal fees. Worley is hesitant to get stuck paying the lawyers. There's also some talk about locking in $100K of party money for those legal fees before the new group takes over.
Needless to say, it's just one more blunder by Worley, and one that could cost her (not that she has much left to lose).
Meanwhile, the Youth Caucus is counting votes for its 48 nominees to the AL Dem exec com. The caucus room was standing-room only with 36-and-unders (something this party hasn't seen in a long time). You can see a pic on my Instagram. instagram.com/p/B4XhxRUB1eq/
The vote for a new party chair could be contentious, but so far everyone here seems upbeat. There's a rumor Worley is here, but nobody I've talked to has actually seen her.
