I was very surprised at how easily MeMaw beat Tommy Battle, but I really shouldn't have been surprised. MeMaw is just a puppet for the BCA, who is really in control of this state. 25 years ago, they AEA had a firm grip on this state, but now it is the BCA.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

Yeah, I don't know the history of AL politics, but I was surprised too. There's some control and/or tunnel vision somewhere. Puppet describes that bumbling hag. Kind of like what Biden is with different views.

I have talked to Linda Blanchard, seems to be pretty sharp.

Mee-Maw keeps working cause she helped to create the RSA system. She gonna need a big paycheck.

Memaw helped destroy the prepaid college tuition fund

She created the fund and then the legislators raped the fund and she got blamed for it. The idea was noble at the time but she did not expect how many people would go in and find ways to take that money.

She may not be the one to blame for the demise, but my first contract said guaranteed full tuition and she came back and said that the word "guarantee" really didn't mean what we thought it did but was just a "marketing ploy". Her words. She has done OK as Gov. but I can't forget the PACT issue.

I'm looking for new leadership so at this point I'm a Battle man. James was a serviceable wishbone Fullback at AU but I need to see him in some other political post like the State Senate to see what he is really about before giving him the State's highest job.

You are correct David, I think it became a cluster... as soon as the idea was announced.

Anytime the elected folks get a wind of free money, they start scheming on how to get it, which is what happened with PACT. That is why we dont have a lottery.

Nope

Lindy Blanchard is who I am voting for. She grew up in a trailer in Wetumpka, AL. She and her husband bought an apartment complex and rented it. They kept doing it and became successful. They started a non-for-profit and have established orphanages in multiple countries and made a huge impact on serving impoverished children.

She is not a politician, but rather a self made millionaire.

President Trump appointed her as Ambassador to Slovenia. She has Trump folks helping her with her campaign and she loaned $5m of her own money to run for Governor.

She is for education and getting rid of common core.
She is pro business and 2nd Amendment rights.
She will never mandate school closures, mask mandates or shutting down businesses.

She views herself in the same mold as Ron Desantis and John Youngkin in VA.

Please take a look at her and consider her for Governor. I will not vote for Governor MeMaw. Dean Odel is a flat earther. Tim James is probably a good candidate too, but Fob James was a terrible Governor.

I would vote for him if he would step up to the podium and say, "I'm Tim James, Bitch!"

Yep. Texas got the lottery saying the funds would be used for improving education. What they failed to tell us, that for every dollar the lottery created, the legislature took away that dollar from the general fund.

Not much of a list to pick from. All these politicians do commercials that frankly I find insulting. Quote the Bible, mention abortion and praise Trump and all the rednecks will vote for me.

Exactly, they’re all pandering douchebags that think their constituents are stupid. Unfortunately we, as a whole, usually prove them right

I love when they put on their brand new camo and tote a gun down a dirt with a posse of "hunters" in tow. Most of them don't know which end of the gun to load.

Tim James is running 'Cause He's Older and has nothing better to do. I used to hunt with him some back in th' early 80's. If it weren't for Fobs $$$$ Success....Tim and Patrick would probably be working as a Teller at some Bank!! Fob had to Sue Son Patrick for mis-use of Funds in the Landfill Patrick managed....Fob owned in Baldwin County. You can look that Scandle up it's public info. Tim Damn' sure ain't th' Sharpest Knife in th' Drawer!!

Maybe he will add to his platform that he will kick Chuck Sykes sorry ass to the curb and find a suitable replacement (pcp). I'm pretty sure he would lock down a lot of hunters votes on that alone
