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.

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

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

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