When politicians say they are thinking about running, what they are really doing is asking how much money they can expect? Hopefully he won't get a positive response and we can have a candidate go against Jones that is sincere and doesn't come with baggage. They will win hands down then. All the money from outside Alabama going to Jones won't be able to buy him enough Alabama votes to win. For every dollar they waste on his campaign, that is one less dollar they have for the presidential campaign.
