I’ll tell you something. I think this is his last run. He won’t let let himself get beat by someone as hated as Kay Ivey but I do think its his last run.
The Democratic nomination could have been his without question this year. He didn’t run. He chose the easy race of Lt. Governor where he didn’t have an opponent and where his staying kept all good candidates out on our side. The fact that he chose the easy race/guaranteed race over the slugfest that the governor’s race was tells me that Folsom is now more concerned with legacy than any actual power and wants to be remembered in Alabama history without as many of the negative points his daddy had.
I think Folsom wants four years as Lt. Governor where he is beholden to no one and can be a bridge builder and then ride back off into Cullman to play with the grandkids.
Well, we shall see how it turns out. Think Luther Strange will be able to hold the AG’s office without a problem ?
