Or maybe Grandparents Day

Gov. Bob Riley announced his last campaign for Alabama's top office on Independence Day. Now Montgomery is buzzing with speculation that he'll launch a 2006 re-election bid during a Labor Day picnic at the Governor's Mansion.

Riley's likely challenger in the Republican primary, former Chief Justice Roy Moore, is supposed to make his gubernatorial plans known by October, though it's unclear if his announcement also will be set against a holiday backdrop.
