Outlook not that good for Ol' Roy

Hattip goes to a Bama Blog on this one.

Bill Barrow (former Auburn Plainsman editor) over at the Mobile Register reported Sunday on a Register-University of South Alabama poll. Among the voters polled, Riley holds a strong lead over both Democrat contenders, Lucy Baxley and Don Siegelman, in head-to-head match-ups. Former State Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore comes in fourth out of the four candidates.

"Riley is the strongest candidate, no question about that," said USA political scientist Keith Nicholls, who directed the polling. "With his lead over Moore from the last poll and leads over both Siegelman and Baxley in this poll, he's in a very good position."

Let's hope the good sense the people of Alabama are showing so far holds up through November 2006.
