Another F for Alabama

Alabama gets another failing grade. This time for our inability to fight prostate cancer.

Riley Should Not Get Complacent

The kind of lead Alabama Governor Bob Riley now holds in the polls should not make him complacent. Roy Moore will put better numbers in the actual vote than he is in the polls, make no mistake. Riley might get close to 60 percent of the vote, but no more. He might even drop below 55%.

Moore supporters are not likely to reveal their true colors to pollsters and they will turn out on election day. Riley supporters should not allow the polls to make them drift into complacency about the primary. I would strongly encourage those who strongly oppose Roy Moore to vote in the Republican primary and ensure his defeat long before we get to November.
