Jim Folsom, the incumbent Lt. Governor, was unopposed in the Democratic Primary. It’s recognized, without much doubt, that Jim is extremely popular in Alabama and will be very had to beat in the fall. He has been a very good Lt. Governor and hasn’t made any major mistakes. As a result, the Cullman native will go into the General Election as the favorite and rightly so. The Sparks-Folsom ticket will be a good one and a team that will be especially strong in North Alabama. That’s an area of the state that is primed to elect a Governor and this may be the year.
