This is how I'm leaning right now.
Gov: Lew Burdette
Senate: Mo Brooks
AG: Steve Marshall
SC: Greg Cook
SOS: Christian Horn
Auditor: Stan Cooke
PSC1: Woodall
PSC2: McCollum
Amendment: yes
Gov: Lew Burdette

Gov: Lindy Blanchard - I would go Lew, but I don't think he'll get enough votes to win a runoff and I want MeeMaw out, and Lindy appears to be more MAGA than MeeMaw or James.
Sen: Mo Brooks
5th Con (Mo's replacement): Casey Wardynski - He's being backed by the Freedom Caucus.
AG: Steve Marshall - He fought against the vaccine mandates, so he's earned my vote on that front.
ALSC: I guess Cook - mainly because Jones' commercial makes her seem a little crazy even though the commercial also shows that she's staunch on 2nd amendment.
SoS: I was thinking Allen, but I'm open for someone to convince me on Horn (I'm not considering the other two).
Auditor: Andrew Sorrell - but I'm open to hear why I should vote for someone else.
Also, I think I'm voting No on the amendment. I don't think we need to be spending $85 mil on parks right now with the state of the economy.

I'm voting for Mo.
Britt is a swamper, Durant is a RINO, Brooks is an idiot.
If I have to send one of these assholes to Washington, let it be the idiot.

This is what I am hoping happens... Just so MeeMaw doesn't get 50% of the vote, it really only matters who the number 2 is in the runoff...

On the amendment….
We have a beautiful state park here in north Alabama, Joe Wheeler State Park, that is in great need of repair, refreshing, and updating. There are many others in the same situation. I’m voting yes on the amendment.

I get it, our parks are definitely in need of repair. If this amendment had come up 4 years ago when the economy was booming, I might have considered it. But I just can't see how spending $85 mil right now with the current state of the economy is fiscally responsible.

A runoff happens if no one gets 50%. A vote for Lew is the same as a vote for Blanchard if your goal is to get a runoff, but I guess if you like Blanchard more than James that makes sense.

Horn's video on his website sold me. He strikes me as a staunch conservative black man, and we need far more of those. He even used the history of black people in Alabama to explain why he is conservative, and we need far more black men in positions of power at the state level who can do this effectively. I honestly don't have strong feelings about the other candidates, but to me this is exactly the kind of person we need to help continue to grow the GOP in Alabama. LINK, video at top of the page.

In this race, Stan Cooke and Andrew Sorrel both seem to want to use this office as a springboard to other offices, so I was leaning Rusty Glover because he clearly stated he wants to actually serve the function of auditor.
But then I read this article in al.com about them LINK and I came to this part about Cooke and the Board of Registrars and I was sold on him:
quote:
Cooke said he only wants Republicans serving on the board of registrars in every county in Alabama. His campaign’s website said that the Auditor’s job is important in appointing those who want to assist in the election process, a duty that he said “we must get ahead of before the Democrats make their way to Alabama to try and steal our elections,” citing Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia.
Cooke also said he would like to have Jefferson County’s board of registrars appointed by state officials, and not through its county commission that is currently established through local legislation.
“We have a Republican controlled House and Senate and we have inherited a problem created by the Democrats that we need not treat Jefferson County (any different) than we treat Madison, Mobile, Montgomery, Limestone, and Baldwin. It should not get special treatment.”
The other two guys would not commit to appointing only conservatives, with Glover going so far as to claim it should be non-partisan. He lost my vote with that one statement. That weak crap is why our country loses.

I get where you're coming from here, but, unless we're anticipating the state legislature cutting the state parks budget in the next few years, I'm not sure what the downside is.
I doubt this has a chance of passing though. I'm betting most people who don't research at all will see "new debt" and vote no.

Unless I'm just a simpleton (quite possibly), this will be issued through the sale of bonds. So it's not like it's just "spending" $85 mil. I voted "yes".

Lew today. Ivey in the runoff if he doesn't make it.
Britt today. Britt in the runoff.
Marshall for AG
Cook for Supreme Court
Anyone but Zeigler for Secretary of State
Yes on Amendment 1.
This is the latest poll from this morning. Looks like late-deciders are breaking towards Britt.
If she breaks 40% tonight, then the Undecideds and 3rd place voters would have to break for Britt's opponent in the runoff 3 to 1.
40% is a solid base of support and is easy to build off of for a runoff.

Governor - Lew Burdette
U.S. Senator - Mo Brooks, only because there are no better choices.
Supreme Court - Greg Cook, mainly because Debra Jones has stupid commercials.
Not sure about the others yet. But definitely not Stan Cooke for Auditor.

Yeah, I meant that I just don't think he'll get enough votes to win a runoff based off the polling numbers so far. I think Blanchard has a better chance of winning a runoff, and is a better option than James (who has polled similarly). I corrected my original post.

Thanks for the video link, and I like your reasoning on Horn. I think you might've convinced me on this one.

Sounds good to me also. I think you might've sold me on him as well.

Yeah, the money will come from selling off bonds, but I'd rather keep those bonds just in case we might need to sell them off for money for something more important than parks. There's no telling how much worse our economy will get, and I'd rather have that $85 mil in bonds still available if needed.

I understand that sentiment. I'll vote for anyone over Ivey in a runoff.
