MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore
says he is seriously considering making another race for governor
in 2010.
Moore has been running a legal organization, the Foundation for
Moral Law, since losing the Republican primary to incumbent Gov.
Bob Riley in 2006. But in recent weeks, a growing number of
supporters has been calling and visiting Moore, encouraging him to
run again.
Moore says that if he runs, it will be as a Republican. He
expects to make a decision in the spring.
Greenville businessman Tim James has already announced he will
run in the Republican primary. Republican State Treasurer Kay Ivey
is assembling a campaign team, but she hasn't officially announced.
Several other Republicans say they have received encouragement to
consider the race.

Lets see, number six of the Ten Commandments reads Thou shalt not kill. He wants to be the governor of a state that has the death penalty. He would have a personal conflict.
