My Take
Don Siegelman fascinates me precisely because of where he won. Becoming a Democratic governor in deeply Republican Alabama, while also being the only Catholic ever to hold that office, takes a rare kind of stubborn conviction. The Mobile-born lawyer planted his flag in unfriendly soil and still reached the summit. I'm drawn to politicians who refuse to drift with the prevailing wind, and Siegelman clearly swam against the current. His career carried plenty of turbulence, but the willingness to stand by his beliefs against the odds earns my quiet admiration. An outlier worth remembering.
