The statement that Bill Allain never married is incorrect. He had been married and was divorced. Incidentally, former Gov Bill Waller was the attorney in the divorce proceedings. Also note that it was not the Clarion Ledger that broke the story about the GOP smear. The perps, led by Bill Spell, actually held a news conference after their attempts to peddle the smear off the record failed. The book Mississippi Politics and Power accurately tells the story of what happened. Disclaimer: Bill Allain was a good friend of mine and I was an advertising and PR advisor to his campaigns for AG and Governor.
I didn’t realize he had actually married. I was trying not to say the names of the people involved, but you’re right Spell led the charge. I think they were very surprised it didn’t get more traction than it did.
