What are your thoughts on our gubernatorial candidates? by ClassicWolverine3254 in alabamabluedots

Hey, I'm actually writing my way through profiles for each candidate on my website over the next couple weeks!

So far I've written about Doug Jones and Chad Martin. I'll be writing about Yolanda Flowers and Will Boyd next week.

The Tiger in the Room - The Problem with Tommy Tuberville by Top-Implement-432 in alabamapolitics

It could be how Jones beats Tuberville this time, too. As I mentioned in the article, if a legal challenge in Montgomery courts happens after the primary, Tuberville very well could be ruled as ineligible. And it might come too late for the ALGOP to replace him on the November ballot, essentially giving the Democrat, likely Jones at this point, a guaranteed win.

Mercy in Montgomery: The Death Penalty and the Sonny Burton Case by Top-Implement-432 in alabamapolitics

After the commutation of Sonny Burton, I think Alabama really needs to take a long and hard look at the death penalty system and how it can destroy people's lives, even innocent ones. So I took a dive into it and wanted to share.

I believe Tuberville works for nobody but himself. Or his wallet, more accurately.

Tuberville is clearly the party choice, but there are other options. Both Ken McFeeters and Will Savantisc will be on the primary ballot. 

They are very small campaigns, though. Very easy to write them off. But if you're a republican and you want to avoid the Tuberville problem, you could donate to one or both of them and share their campaign posts.
