Mo Says It's a Go

 

It's official - Mo Brooks has become the second announced candidate to replace Richard Shelby in the U.S. Senate. Four more are rumored to be considering the prize, but who knows how many will actually toss toupees into the ring before qualifying time ends?

For some time, we've had a learned consultant to the blog who resides in the Madison County area. "Observant, Law-abiding American Citizen" had the pleasure of attending Rep. Brooks' official announcement. Held at Bullet & Barrel Gun Shop and Indoor Shooting Range, the event wasn't without its detractors.

OLAC tells us that the protesters, numbering no more than 15, were herded across the street from the gun shop and not allowed to disrupt proceedings. Here's some snaps:

How long has it been since North Alabama produced a senator? Is Mo ready to take on John Merrill? Is Merrill ready to do battle with Mo? 

We would point out that this could get very interesting, but since when are Alabama senate races anything less?

Remember This?
