What’s your take on the AG race with Troy King losing?
It depends on a lot of things. In theory, it means Luther Strange should win by 8-10 points. However, this is looking to be a year where running against Montgomery is going to be a running theme. King would have been a better candidate for that environment than Strange.
It’s still his to lose but if enough money poured in and they manage to frame Strange as part of the problem in Montgomery it is doable.
The real question is going to be what Houston County does. The Houston County GOP is in open break with the Riley administration and Bobby Bright is in office solely because of the Wiregrass split two years ago. If Houston County decided to put gambling above normal party affiliation and the counties surrounding it do the same, that could create some headaches for whomever they decide to do it to and Strange would be a prime target.
