Moore is running for Governor

Moore will possibly be running as a Republican for Governor in Alabama. So the GOP is widening their big tent, eh?

Despite speculation that Constitution Party ties might hurt his chances with the GOP, former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore would likely be accepted onto the Republican ballot if he runs for office, according to several GOP leaders.

Moore, who has been linked to the Constitution Party, has said he is considering a bid for governor in 2006 and that he would probably run as a Republican. He was ousted as chief justice in 2003 after de fying a federal judge's order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state judicial building.

Just last year the Alabama Republican Party disqualified a candidate after the person's party loyalty was questioned.

Actor-comedian Al Franken is making an announcement tomorrow as to whether he is running or not.
