Alabama Democratic Court Candidate Looks For Religious Voters

The Columbus (Georgia) Ledger-Enquirer today reports that Al Johnson, the Democratic candidate for the Alabama Supreme Court, is trying to capture conservative religious votes from the Republicans. Johnson's supporters display bumper stickers reading: "I am a Christian; I own a gun; I am a Democrat; Johnson for Justice." And when asked about his views, Johnson says, "I am as conservative as the Holy Scriptures; and I am as liberal as the love of Jesus. The problem in Alabama right now is most of our elected officials live by the first part of that and forget the second part."
