Barkley 2014

Charles Barkley has declared his candidacy for the governorship of Alabama in... 2014? Maybe I'm missing something, but that seems like a bit of a wait. Bob Riley, the current governor, is up for re-election in 2010 (if Alabama governors can run for a 3rd term). So presumably Barkley plans to run against a 4th term Riley, or whoever beats Riley?

Why the race would be worth following?

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.
