re: If Tuberville ran for governor...

Reasons to Vote for Tuberville:

- He brings extensive management experience to the table
- Would be a much better choice than Kay Ivey, Roy Moore, Tim James, and a number of other hayseed yokels who will no doubt run against him.
- He'd probably be able to handle himself on the big stage when representing Alabama. Basically, I don't see him embarrassing us and he'd be a good salesman for the state.
- I never liked him at Auburn, but I never thought he was "dirty." Therefore I don't think he'd be a corrupt Governor.
- His high profile would give him some political capital to get some things done.
- The Trump argument: He's an outsider who doesn't have to be corrupt because he's already made millions.

Reasons not to vote for Tuberville:
- He got lazy at Auburn because he didn't have anyone challenging him in Tuscaloosa. If he won the GOP primary, he'd basically be assured of two terms like Bentley. He has a long track record of following success with failure because he lost focus. Would Tuberville really be motivated to work hard?
- Tuberville is as slick as any other politician. He always knew how to get out of town before the firing squad and knew double talk better than anyone.
- His taunting of Alabama fans, IMO, showed extremely poor character.

FYI, I'd vote for him but only because I really don't want a number of other people in there.

heard the same thing about Trumps chance at being president

65-70% of AL residents are BAMA fans.

Only way I'd vote for a scumbag like Ears would be if someone like Saddam Hussein was running against him.

Ears is not close to being qualified to be Gov.

No chance to win.

Something tells me that if it came down to Roy Moore vs. Tubby, UA folks would still vote for Moore out of UA allegiance, or against Tubby out of UA allegiance

The voters of this state are really stupid so that wouldn't shock me.

Depends who he's up against.

Reminds me of a time when a buddy asked, "You mean you'd actually vote for Dan Quayle for president?"

I replied, "Who's he running against? Ted Kennedy? Hell yes."

Yeah in this scenario I could see Tubs winning the primary. Though I don't think Ivey is healthy enough to run

Kay Ivey is the reason why Bentley hasn't been impeached yet.

Alabama needs Condi Rice to come home and run the state.

Probably not. Nothing to do with his ties to Auburn. He'd just be more of the toxicity of the state Republican party. Not that the state Democratic party is any better, but I'll likely vote for the Democrat just to break the super majority in the state. That is never good, regardless of the party.

Tuberville was on Jox and taking credit for Alabama hiring Nick Saban.

He just filed to run

I don't know anyone who would vote for Roy Moore over any other legitimate candidates, even though I'm sure he'd have some support among the hard-line religious people.
