I am totally confused. Are you saying Moore will run for president or the next gov. race?
Thompson was born in Alabama?
Thompson was born somewhere near the Shoals area.
And I’m saying Moore might run for president as a precursor to running for governor in ‘10. The presidential primary is not gonna be like last year. People in rural areas will actually vote in the Republican primary, whereas they couldn’t in ‘06 due to sheriff’s races.
He wouldn’t need much money, it’s not like he had much last time, and well, if he could duplicate his gubernatorial primary performance in the presidential preference primary, which is certainly possible, he’d probably carry the state. Jesse Jackson carried the state even though a majority of people voted against him. He could actually cause major problems in the southern primaries, to the point where it would probably tip the nomination to Giuliani, which would actually be what Mooreites want. They want an all out battle with business for control of every Southern state party. Then, he’d probably jump ship, and run as a third party candidate, and if that happened, it would trigger Bloomberg’s entry, and possibly someone else.
Even if it didn’t go that far, still, if Moore was just able to win the state’s delegates, which is possible, you’d have to give him speaking time at the convention. Any outcome that occurred would certainly bost his prospects in 2010, which is going to be the first time the gov’s office is open in 24 yrs. I’ve always thought ole’ Roy was in it for himself, and I still remain convinced of that. One thing about Roy is, he does use class warfare.
