PHOENIX -- Charles Barkley insists he's serious about running for governor of Alabama, but he's got to move back there first.

"The Republicans are full of it," Barkley said. "The Democrats are a little less full of it."

This is great! If he runs as an independent, he further splits the Democrat vote. I'm all in favor of him running.
