They love Lucy

Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley, already on the gubernatorial campaign trail, spoke Tuesday to about 300 members of the Alabama Education Association, whose executive director calls all the shots in Montgomery. Like any good political speech more than a year away from the election, Baxley's talk was short on specifics and long on tales about her humble roots. She also never said the words "governor" or "Bob Riley" during an address for which she received a standing ovation.
