First and best choice - Mo Brooks.
Experienced rep who could win state wide special election

I’m not clicking on Conservative Review to deny Levin any revenue, but I bet I would disagree with their pick.
Fake Conservative Review is more accurate.

It’s politics and it’s Bentley’s call.
He’s no conservative, so don’t expect him to appoint one, although any and everyone is throwing their hat in the ring.

I hear Robert Aderholt.

Please stop bringing up that demagogue. Roy Moore is a grandstanding idiot. I'm sick of his BS.

Mo Brooks would be my choice as well, but I guarantee Bentley will screw this up.

Got to be Roy Moore! (OK - Gov. Bentley is a Kasich-endorsing squish so probably not happening - but the liberal skull explosions would be fantastic).

He might appoint Big Luther Strange, the AG, to try to forestall impeachment efforts. Mr. Strange would be a solid pick.

The Republicans and Gov. Bentley do not have a good relationship right now - wouldn’t put it past him to appoint a rat. Wouldn’t THAT be a kick?
