Well, Charles was a Republican, but he switched to Democrat a couple of years ago.

I wonder if he’s back? He’s been talking about running for Gov. since he was at Auburn.

I’m not sure if he knows the difference in the parties.

For that matter, I’m not sure I know the difference between the parties, either.

He seems to be a little immature, politically speaking. I don’t mean that in a bad way, I’m just remarking on the way he supports conservative values (social & otherwise), but then falls for the liberal media-driven political smears; he seems a bit too new to politics to be a candidate any time soon. Though he is a prime candidate for someone to take him on as a project to school him in the whole rationale of conservative thinking.

Basically, he’s got the bare essentials down, he needs lots of fine tuning.

Yes, he has been talking about running for governor for 15 years.

Barkley also has major temper and violence problems although that does not seem to have stopped John McCain.

I’m not sure if he knows the difference in the parties.

He is now an independent:

And he said he is an independent, not a Democrat as previously reported.

"The Republicans are full of it," Barkley said. "The Democrats are a little less full of it."
