Things are starting heat up. Debates last week and this week. Ivey is trying to run out the clock by avoiding the debates which is probably smart. However, I thought it was poor judgement on her make the excuse that she has a busy schedule as governor and she ends up throwing out the first pitch at the Barons' game instead. She has the advantage of being in office and a few million more in donations than Battle, and that might help her win the Primary but I think that strategy could hurt her in the General against Walt Maddox.

Battle just seems like a stock Republican candidate for Governor. I want to like him and he'd probably be a good Governor, but it feels like his stances are prefab and designed to not rock the boat. Would still take him over Ivey and the other two GOP candidates.

ivey looks like a fool for not debating.

i like battle. i am not sure how much of huntsville's success is due to him but he certainly seems like he has a solid track record.

I was hoping Roy Moore would run. But seriously, Ivey just seems like your garden variety Montgomery establishment politician. I'll vote for whomever the R is in the general.

As long as it is not my dipshit mayor I will be happy.

Walt can suck a back of aids infected dicks. (He probably already has.)

I see Ivy picked up the Alabama Retail PAC endorsement last week, which surprised me.
I said I would never vote for her because of her handling of the special election for Sessions' seat.

Battle concerns me. He's said some things that lead me to believe he is north Alabama-centric, and would ignore the needs of southwest Alabama, particularly when it comes to funding for road and highway maintenance.

Ivey just released this ad about Confederate monuments. LINK

I guess it’s better than Tim James going all in on making license tests English.
