Little Time for Folsom Draft Posted by Danny, on April 2nd, 2008, at 10:51 amThe effort by the out-of-stater who started a “Draft Jim Folsom, Jr. for U.S. Senate in 2008″ blog last weekend looks to be too little too late as qualifying ends Friday.

That guy is a nutt. Google him.
Not going to happen. As a Cullmanite, nobody respects the Folsom name more than me, but he is not going to run in this Senate race. His sights are squarely set on 2010.
