By NICOLE LAFOND Published JANUARY 3, 2018 1:49 PM
Rich Hobson, who managed embattled Republican Senate candidate Roy Moores campaign, is planning to announce a congressional bid of his own.
With intentions of running against Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) in the states Republican primary, Hobson confirmed to CNN on Wednesday that hes diving into the race to do whats best for Alabama and the USA, not because he has beef with Roby.
The Republican incumbent did not defend Moore when multiple women came forward alleging the former state Chief Justice pursued relationships or made inappropriate sexual advances toward them when they were teens and he was in his 30s, CNN reported. Roby has also publicly said she did not vote for President Trump and criticized him when the Access Hollywood tape came out in the 11th-hour of the 2016 election.
Hobson said he decided a year ago that he was going to run against Roby, who fully intends on running for reelection, her chief of staff told CNN.

(15,388 posts)The one two punch that did in Moore were all the allegations and then Jones describing him as prancing around in a cowboy costume, which negated any tough-guy image points Roy was hoping for. Could it work again but a level removed? "Who are you going to vote for - me or the guy who hangs out with a pedophile who likes to prance around in a cowboy costume?"
That kind of sounds worse.
