Roy Moore Says He Might Run For Alabama Governor

Source: Talking Points Memo

Roy Moore refuses to go away.

The former Alabama judge and dumpster fire of a Senate candidate sent out a statement on Thursday saying that he might run for statewide office in Alabama once again.

“If the opportunity arises to make a difference, I will have no reluctance to again run for political office, including that of Governor,” he said in a statement.

Those remarks come after Moore’s Senate bid went down in flames last fall amidst accusations from multiple women of sexual misconduct — including many who said the incidents took place when they were teenagers.

That guy had no business trying to ride that horse. He obviously didn't know what the fuck he was doing. If he was trying to impress voters with his "cowboyness", he failed.

She'd need to be about 60 years younger than she is.

in which he punctuated each chorus of "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away" with a jaunty "M*therfvcker".

Painful, unwanted, embarrassing, no cure, and he comes back just when you think he’s gone for good.

…… coming back from the grave. Moore in Alabama. Arpaio In Arizona. The two posterboys for the need for redistricting.

But Moore is thinking about governor and Arpaio for Senate. Both are statewide races and have no districts.
