And for me, the best opportunity was the debates, and I think I was in real trouble before the debates, and I think the debates helped me a lot.
In 2010, Republicans took control of politics in Alabama by advocating for increased transparency and an end to government corruption, but instead of ending it, they have raised the level of corruption to the point that the stench of dishonesty fills the air, decadence drives policy, and bribery is the norm in Montgomery.

Awards are very politically based.
