Roy Moore to run for Governor of Alabama

Remember Roy Moore, the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court who was ousted for placing a two and a half ton statue of the Ten Commandments in his courthouse? He might be running for Governor in Alabama.

Ousted Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore said Friday he is considering running for governor in 2006.

"I'll be praying about it and considering it," told reporters.

Moore was ousted in November 2003 for defying a federal judge's order to remove his 5,280-pound Ten Commandments monument from public display in the state judicial building. He appealed his ouster to the U.S. Supreme Court, but lost.

If Moore were to run as a Republican, he could face a GOP primary battle with Gov. Bob Riley, who has not yet said whether he will seek a second term.

That would be an enjoyable primary campaign to watch.
