He won that election simply because he was the incumbent.

He was originally voted into office because his opponent was that yokel, Ron (Jus calls me Ron) Sparks.

No. He certainly won reelection because he was the incumbent and no R chose to challenge him.

He won the first time because of the AEA connection. The Alabama D party committed suicude so (as it was for Ds before their suicude) whomever wins the R primary has won the election. Bentley won that by getting AEA to secretly fund attack ads before the runoff against Bradley Byrne, the top vote getter in the initial primary vote.
