The Alabama Republican Party posted the photo above a few hours ago, with this caption: “ALGOP welcomes Republican state party Chairmen from across the nation to Birmingham to discuss how to take back the US Senate in 2014!” To which commenter Edward Kimmel applied this sardonic annotation: “Spanning the entire range of Alabama Republicans from Lutheran to Methodist.”
And yes, if you’re wondering, those are hoop skirts, more commonly used in the South for remembering the past than ginning up the future. (H/t my aunt CeeJay Garrett.)
Below, you can see how the Wisconsin Republican Party is getting ready to take back the Senate in 2014. Lefty blog RootRiverSiren spots the following photo on the Wisconsin GOP website and on iStock Photo as “Diverse Group of People Showing Community.”
