Roy Moore Officially Enters Alabama Gubernatorial Race

Reuters reports that former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore officially entered the race for Alabama governor on Wednesday. Moore became famous for setting up, and then refusing to remove, a large 10 Commandments monument in the Alabama state judiciary building. His defiance of court orders eventually led to his removal as Chief Justice in 2003, but his stance endeared him to many Christian fundamentalists.
