Siegelman Holds "Listening Post" in Huntsville

Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman was at the Jazz Factory here in Huntsville last week for the first in a series of what he calls "listening post" meetings to help him decide whether he should run for Governor again.

He talked about a high school junior he met recently when attending college night at his son's school. The young man said he just didn't know if he could afford it.

That conversation, plus folks coming up to him at Wal-Mart and Waffle House asking him to run again, "reached my heart" and have him deep in contemplation.
Too bad no one at the restaurant was equipped with one of these little devices, because it certainly would have come in handy.
