AL-GOV: Former Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb announces candidacy

[Heisenberg]

Richard Lindsey, Jim Folsom Jr., Artur Davis, Walter Maddox, Craig Ford, and Bobby Bright are the other strong candidates she probably just cleared from the field. Honestly, in my opinion, Lindsey and Folsom are the strongest potential nominees.

Imagine if Folsom had won his 1980 Senate race. He probably could have hung on until 2010.

I think he would have been knocked off in 2004 with the right candidate. Southeastern Senate Republicans did really well that year.
