Alabama Republican Party spokesman Philip Bryan has confirmed that rumors floating on the internet and talk radio are correct: The Montgomery County Republican headquarters was broken into last night. Laptaps are reported to have been stolen from the premises.
Ya gotta wonder if this was merely a routine burglary looking for computers, or if this was a politically motivated action. What was on those laptops? What politically sensitive information were the thieves after?
In a possibly related story (who really knows?), the home of Jimmy Blake was also broken into last night.
According to a Blake spokesperson, an air compressor and other equipment was stolen. People and dogs were in the house at the time of the burglary, however neither the dogs nor the residents of the home were alerted to the presence of outsiders. “It was a very clean job,” said Blake.
If you will recall, Jimmy Blake is the individual who is challenging Bentley's right to remain on the ballot.
So far, there is no information indicating that these two burglaries are connected, nor that the burglaries were politically motivated.
But still... You have to wonder.

Alabamagate - indeed why? It doesn't sound like the haul was worth the risk...but who knows
