It was just a matter of time - The Round Mound of Rebound is running for Governor in 2014.  On CNN last night, which by the way I never watch, Charles Barkley told Campbell Brown that he was indeed running for office in 2014 in the state of Alabama.

“I plan on it in 2014,” Barkley told CNN’s Campbell Brown on Monday.  When asked if he was serious, he said, “I am, I can’t screw up Alabama.”  He added that his native state could only improve. “We are number 48 in everything and Arkansas and Mississippi aren’t going anywhere,” Barkley said.  He said that his top priority as governor would be education. “The public school system in this country is the worst it has ever been and what that does is that hurts crime, it hurts the judicial system,” he said. “You know if you don’t give people education and hope, they become criminals. They get involved in drugs. So we have got to fix the public school system.”

So get ready over the next eight years to hear his loud mouth campaign!  Yuck!  Oh yah, he will be running as a Democrat - or at least for today.
