Alabama Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb has officially decided not to seek the nomination of the Democratic Party for Governor:
Cobb issued a statement Wednesday saying that while she received considerable support to run, she has decided to continue in her current position on the Supreme Court.“I am honored to have been sought out and encouraged to run for governor by so many Alabamians from all walks of life. Their support has been humbling and perhaps made this decision the most difficult I have ever been called upon to make,” she said in a release.
I never really expected Cobb to seek the nomination, but it is still a relief to know that she will remain on the Alabama Supreme Court. Had Cobb sought the nomination an interim replacement would have been named by Republican Governor Bob Riley.
