​After campaigning for Secretary of State for more than a year, Sorrell may have gotten himself into a pickle by his decision. Privately, GOP insiders have expressed dismay at his choice to change races. One called the decision “cowardly,” while another referred to his announcement as “weak.” Another well-known public figure who is running for office went so far as to call this a "B * * * * move."

Chen, in his historic bid to become the first Taiwanese American officeholder in Alabama history, has picked up several crucial endorsements of late—first from the Forestry Association, then the Alabama Electric Cooperatives PAC, ALFA Farm PAC, and Dadeville businessman Robert McCollum, who withdrew from the race to focus on flipping a Democrat-held commission seat red in Tallapoosa County.

Political insiders who spoke to me on condition of anonymity said Senator Jack Williams, in his bid for Agriculture Commissioner, and current commissioner Rick Pate, who is running for lieutenant governor—both of whom, on paper, were obvious choices for the Farmers Federation—were deemed “too old.”

Perception is not always reality, but image is everything. In Steve Flowers’ most recent column in Yellowhammer News, he attempts to plant a false image in people's heads.

Next, Caroleene Dobson began making innuendos about Sorrell committing some type of misdeed. At this point, the vultures were circling. The liberal media pounced, attempting to convict Sorrell in the court of public opinion.

I don't know if this is a gimmick to try to win support, but Wes Allen needs to stop running his mouth. We already saw him look foolish starting a public spat with former Secretary of State John Merrill a few months ago, leaving him with egg on his face.
