Yeah, that's really not happening

Lee over at A Bama Blog has discovered even more reasons why Larry Darby, founder of the Atheist Law Center, won't win the Democratic nomination for Alabama attorney general.

In case it wasn't enough that Darby hosted a speech by a Holocaust denier last year, The Tuscaloosa News reported last month that he personally thinks the Nazis killed no more than 70,000 Jews. And in case that wasn't enough, Darby also thinks the Supreme Court had no right to order school desegregation.

In an indication that few people are aware of Darby's views yet, recent polls show that he trails Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson, Jr., by a mere 9 points in the Democratic primary race. Fortunately, more than two-thirds of the voters are still undecided, which means Tyson should steamroll to victory once people start paying more attention to politics in a few weeks.
