This past Friday, I met with Luther Strange, candidate for Alabama Attorney General. The meeting was held at the request of Mr. Strange. Consider that, in the past, Musings from Maytown had been quite critical of Luther Strange and his candidacy. However, this writer prayed for an open mind as I met with four pages of intense questions on his qualifications and the issues of the day. Readers should expect that conservatives are uneasy with the position of Troy King, the incumbent Attorney General. King has received, through Pac-to-Pac transfers, contributions from gambling interests. King has thrown roadblocks to prevent efforts from Governor Riley to crackdown on illegal gambling. Pro-life activist James Henderson has expressed opposition to King on his lack of interest in taking decisive pro-life action. King's record has been weak in implementing a conservative agenda. District Attorneys in Madison, Cullman, Lee, St. Clair, Shelby, Barbour, Morgan, and Autauga counties have endorsed Luther Strange over the incumbent Attorney General Troy King.
