The governor’s race: The Alabama line and an online poll
Doc’s Political Parlor has brought back the Alabama Line for statewide elections. Here’s how they are handicapping the gubernatorial race:
(R) Bradley Byrne (2:1)
Favorite of the state’s GOP establishment is still the one to beat.
(D) Artur Davis (5:2)
Has strong believers and nay-sayers. Running aggressive race thus far.
(R) Tim James (6:1)
Rapidly becoming Byrne’s most serious challenger.
(D) Ron Sparks (9:1)
Strong candidate on paper but rumors of money woes persist.
(R) Kay Ivey (19:1)
Statewide official, only woman, but is PACT mess too much to overcome?
(R) Roy Moore (30:1)
Is his committed base large enough to move him into a primary runoff?
(R) Robert Bentley (>99:1)
Dark horse has impressed but has much ground to make up.
(R) Bill Johnson (>99:1)
Is this flame thrower running to win or just settle scores?
(R) James Potts (>99:1)
In America, they say anyone can grow up to be President, not Governor.

Are you talking about the “online poll” that’s being run by the website from the Moore campaign? What a sham.

Jimbo, as I understand it, the person who runs the poll is Vern Bearden, who I’ll bet ends up supporting James. Kris is just a whiny liberal with an agenda.

Red, I’ll give Johnson credit for breaking any perception that he’s tied to Riley. Right now, he’s my number two guy. However, I’m pulling for Tim James as he’s the best shot I see at 1) defeating ANYONE who supported Amendment One and 2) has a very healthy dose of fiscal conservatism without any overdose of religious extremism.

Roy Moore is only candidate who has record is which he shown he is willing to stand up for and govern as a conservative who follows the Constitution.
The religious extremist label is just standard liberal slander of anyone who truely believes in the Constitution.
And when you speak to the candidates I bet you will find the only one who really has the understaning to explain exactly why things like Federal Reserve are unconstitutional it will be Moore.
But he is one who has really been studying the ways of the Founding Fathers.
