And then there was one….looking back, you have to wonder if Jim Hood would be A.G. if it wasn’t for Mike Moore’s key late endorsement back in 2003…
By 2001, only one Republican would be left in charge of an executive department of state government: Phil Bryant. Bryant, now lieutenant governor-elect, had been appointed State Auditor by Fordice in 1996 and was the sole Republican elected to statewide office in 1999.But this year, not only did the Republican Party field competitive candidates for all eight statewide offices, the GOP had incumbents running for re-election in three of them.In January, when Tuesday’s winners are sworn in, there will be only one Democrat among them: Attorney General Jim Hood.
