Latest poll shows Riley with huge lead over Moore

...and I do mean huge. The latest Mobile Press-Register/University of South Alabama poll shows Gov. Riley with a commanding 64%-20% lead over Roy Moore among those who say they will vote in the June 6 Republican primary.

The Moore campaign smells a conspiracy:

J. Holland, Moore's campaign spokesman, released the following Moore statement in response to the results:

"This poll is being used to divert attention from the recent revelations of unethical political action committee (PAC) contributions to my opponent from such sources as the Alabama Education Association, trial lawyers and gambling interests. Other surveys taken across this state do not reflect these results, and just like my race for chief justice in 2000, this poll will be proved totally inaccurate on June 6, 2006."

So here's a Roy Moore trivia question for y'all. I remember hearing one of Judge Moore's old law school classmates tell a story about how Moore earned the nickname "Fruit Salad" while he was attending law school at the University of Alabama, but I can't remember why. The Wikipedia article on Judge Moore simply says that "the nickname 'Fruit Salad' was bestowed upon him by a professor for his unconventional legal theories." Can anyone tell me the story behind the nickname?
