Sessions for Governor in ‘06
The rumblings about Sen. Jeff Sessions as a candidate for Governor of Alabama in 2006 got so bad yesterday that the Senator released a statement denying any interest at this time. A battle within the Republican party would be the best case scenario for the Alabama Democrats, so I’m sure they are excited about the possibility. On the flip side, I’m not so sure that Governor Riley will run for a second term. He’s only been in office for 1 and 1/2 years, but I’m sure it feels like a lifetime. Keep that rumor mill going, it’s one of the few interesting things going on in Alabama politics at the moment.

Oh how your last sentence here was trumped later in the day. How ironic is that timing?
But still, and in light of today’s events, my question remains: Who will the Dems push in 2006?

True, true. The Siegelman story is breaking BIG.
Lt. Governor Lucy Baxley was always going to be the leading candidate in ‘06, not Don Siegelman. I think Rep. Artur Davis will also be pushed by some in the party.
