Crazy in Alabama

Crazy in Alabama

It really is another world in the red states:

"A new Alabama poll shows Roy Moore with a lead of 8 percentage points over Gov. Bob Riley in the race for the 2006 Alabama Republican gubernatorial nomination, a potential boost for the former chief justice should he decide to run for the office.

Moore drew support from 43 percent of likely Republican primary voters, while the governor garnered 35 percent.

Ousted from the Alabama Supreme Court over his refusal to follow a federal judge's order to remove a Ten Commandments office from the court building, Moore has been traveling the country speaking to conservative organizations and religious groups.

Poll director Keith Nicholls, a political scientist at South Alabama, said the results indicate the 2006 nomination is 'Moore's for the taking.'"


Moore appears to be too conservative even for Laura Bush. But the red states demand their rhetorical red meat...

This has absolutely nothing to do with the 1999 Melanie Griffith movie "Crazy In Alabama." But now I see that the tagline for the movie was "Sometimes you have to lose your mind to find your freedom."

At least this gives us another quick shorthand for red state/blue state: Roy Moore/Michael Moore.

More Moore at MyDD
