AL-GOV: Ivey confirms she is NOT a lesbian alcoholic

[Cactus Jack]

Compared to Moore and Bentley, Ivey is utterly inoffensive. I'd hoped that maybe the gubernatorial race might be competitive, but I don't see that happening with Ivey already fashioning a sterling reputation and shoring up the bases for the primary.

She's running!

Other than Cavanaugh (who already has) are any of the primary contestants expected to drop?

Similarly, is there any chance that Ivey doesn't steamroll everyone? Barring any developments with her health, ofc. 

Nah it'll be a tough fight between her and Tommy Battle.

You mean it will be a tough...battle between them?

boooooooo

After the Moore thing, I wouldn't put money on Ivey making it out of the primary. There's a real chance a complete loon takes it here, too - looking at Scott Dawson.

Safe R tbh. Ivey is still quite bad but looks amazing compared to the state's past GOP governors.

Isn't Ivey popular as of now? If so, Ivey shouldn't have too much to worry about (just yet).

Perhaps tying her to moore could work...she said she believed his accusers but was still voting for him.

I've had the same thought. Ivey's stance on Moore was, in its own right, even worse than the idiots who decried the accusers as liars - it implies that Ivey knowingly and by her own volition preferred a pedophile to a Democrat.
