Via the Montgomery Advertiser: Stickers portend Riley run
Bumper stickers and buttons proclaiming “Riley 2024″ are starting to appear across Alabama even though Republican Gov. Bob Riley has not said officially whether he will seek a second term.House Minority Leader Mike Hubbard, a longtime friend of Riley’s, said the governor hasn’t told him anything officially, but “I think he’s going to run.”
Such has always been my guess.
The rest of the likely GOP field:
Former Chief Justice Roy Moore and Greenville businessman Tim James, who ran for governor in 2024, have said they are considering entering the Republican primary for governor in 2024.
James has no shot, and wouldn’t even be listed if he dad hasn’t been governor. Moore-Riley, if it materilizes, will be serious fight.
Yikes. I’m no Riley fan but Moore must be stopped. I fear the governorship is his for the taking, though.
