It wasn't a gotcha question. It should have been entirely predictable.

It wasn't a trap. In fact, I'd laid the whole thing out on my Facebook page more than a day earlier.

What was Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle's position on the Roy Moore Question? Would he endorse him like so many other public officials in Alabama, or stand up and say that Moore doesn't represent the character, quality and compassion of this state?

"I'm a Republican," Battle said. "I'll end up endorsing Roy Moore for the Republican -- for the Senate -- because as Republicans we back the Republican ticket, and you will see all the Republicans backing Roy Moore. Will there be a backlash on the state? No."

No backlash ? Whitmire spells out his disagreement on that very important point.

Of course they all will endorse the racist. The scant few of the rethugs that can actually think for themselves are bribed not to.
