Republican incumbent Bob Riley easily won a second term in November 2006, polling 58 percent of the vote against Democratic Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley. State law prohibits Governor Riley from seeking another term in 2010. Term limits for state officials have been around since colonial times. Presently, 36 states have term limits of different types for their governors. When Governor George Wallace was faced with the dilemma of term limits he convinced his wife to seek the office of governor. It was generally understood that Mrs. Wallace would be a titular governor while he would be the de facto governor. They were a winning team and she served 17 months before passing in 1968. For years I have been a strong advocate for term limits. Today I am having second thoughts. During these tough economic times it concerns me that we are not able to re elect Governor Bob Riley, a governor who has been a fountain of light and of hope for the state of Alabama. Governor Riley has grappled mightily with the affairs of this state and he has successfully assembled a world class team. With one heart so many in Alabama feel, and with one mind acknowledge that among the greatest people that have ever trod this earth are governor and Mrs. Bob Riley. Mrs. Bob Riley having served as first lady since her husband was sworn into office on January 20, 2003 should expand her Petticoat Politics platform and run for governor in 2010.
