It Wouldn't Be The First Boob Elected Governor

Let's play a little game. I will list some traits of current gubernatorial candidates and you tell me the state in which they are seeking office.

1. A 31-year-old housewife and mother of two, who was married at 16 and holds a GED ...
2. An admitted pot smoker and anti-drug war activist ...
3. A former Dennis Kucinich for President adviser ...
4. A rather busty woman touting the campaign slogan: "More of these boobs, and less of these boobs!!" (with her opponents as the "less boobs") ...
5. A Libertarian who is actually more enthusiastic about running than one Democratic candidate and equal in number of arrests to the other Democratic candidate ...

The answers:

1. Alabama
2. Alabama
3. Alabama
4. Alabama
5. Alabama

Meet Loretta Nall, Libertarian candidate for Alabama governor. Never mind that her platform is all over the political map: Alabama National Guard out of Iraq, anti-gun restriction, pro-drug legalization, pro-lottery, anti-Patriot Act, pro-gay marriage, anti-hate crimes legislation.

Sidenote: Her advice to gay people seeking protection from bashers and haters:

Hate crime laws will not change the way people think. They will not spread tolerance and acceptance and they will not stop gay people from being assaulted and killed by the violent whackos that inhabit the earth.

Buy a gun instead. As the Pink Pistols say, "Armed Gays Don't Get Bashed."

Now where have we heard that before?

Loretta Nall doesn't have a prayer (scratch that, she's an athiest, too). She seems to take positions, no matter how off the wall -- unlike Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley who is running on a platform of "No Promises" and apparently no plans. (Hat tip for that nice line goes to Lee P. at A Bama Blog.) She was busted for pot possession, yet she's still not the only gubernatorial candidate to be hauled into criminal court.

Hell, and she sure ain't the craziest one in the race.

If you want to read more about her, she has a blog here. If you want to read more about her boobs and tendancy not to wear panties (um, yeah, I said "panties" in a post about politics), go here.
