Charles Barkley promises to run for Alabama Governor...

[Keystone Phil]

...in 2014.

I just saw it on Hardball. They also played a clip of "Sir Charles" stating that he gets sick everytime he hears the word "conservative" because conservatives are just "fake Christians."

Yeah, he'll do well.

he also promised to run in 2010 on the eve of Election 2004 if Kerry lost.

I guess he actually has bought a house there now so by 2014 he can claim residency for enough time.

Should be intersting to see him lose.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'd love to see him win.  As a fan of the NBA, it would be spectacular to see a HOF'er as a Governor.

Every member of the Dream Team should run for political office someday.

Not Karl Malone-he's a Republican.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

He's been saying that he'll run for Governor for years. I'll believe it when I see it.

I had heard Barkley say he was either running as a Democrat or as an Independent.

What party?

Though he's black, rich people usually vote Republican.

Operative word bolded. Rich blacks, few and far between, are only marginally less Democratic than blacks as a whole.

Why is it a gaffe? He said what he believes. It wasn't a mistake or a "macaca moment" like George Allen had. Saying something you may disagree with doesn't make it a gaffe.

[Eraserhead]

I'm pretty sure this is a guy who once said he "hates all animals". He's a moron but at least the debates would be funny.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I'm pretty sure Barkley was a Republican a few years ago but he changed over to an independent.

Barkley spoke for many years of his Republican Party affiliation. In 1995, he considered running as a Republican candidate for Alabama's governorship in the 1998 election.[50] However, in 2006, he altered his political stance and stated:
I was a Republican until they lost their minds, "The word 'conservative' means 'discriminatory,' practically. It's a form of political discrimination. What do the Republicans run on? Against gay marriage and for a war that makes no sense. A war that was based on faulty intelligence. That's all they ever talk about. That and immigration. Another discriminatory argument for political gain.

So yeah, not anymore.
