Brown: So are you going to run for governor?
Barkley: I plan on it in 2014.
Brown: You are serious.
Barkley: I am, I can’t screw up Alabama.
Brown: There is no place to go but up in your view?
Barkley: We are number 48 in everything and Arkansas and Mississippi aren’t going anywhere.

on 28 Oct 08I don’t care for Charles Barkley personally, but it for a state that ranks at the bottom in everything, someone running for office should have an attitude like his.

on 28 Oct 08When asked why he needs to wait for 2014? - “Because you have to own a house in Alabama for 10yrs prior to running” - “Really?” - “Absolutely. That’s how behind the times we are.”

on 28 Oct 08@ GeelWonder – Barkley’s actual words from the CNN trancript: “2014. You have to have residency for seven years. And I bought my house at the end of last year. And I will be eligible in 2014.”
I couldn’t find the “Absolutely. That’s how behind the times we are” or the “own a home for 10 years” parts in the transcript.

on 28 Oct 08There was some crosstalk but it’s there. I saw it live.
It may be in an (indistinguishable/inaudible) quote, or a crosstalk section.
Anyhow.

on 28 Oct 08But then again, he’s given the same talk 10 times on 10 different CNN programs, so it may vary.

7yrs though, not 10.
