Luther Strange, a lawyer and lobbyist from Mountain Brook, has qualities that commend his candidacy. However, in the context of Tuesday’s GOP primary election, Strange stands out first and foremost because he is not the incumbent, Troy King.
King has misspent his time in the AG’s office, feuding openly with the governor, trading in perks that create an appearance of impropriety, grandstanding against disfavored district attorneys and generally placing a highly ideological imprint on an office dedicated to equal justice.
