would a picture with Megyn Kelly make sense for a Democratic candidate! 
Yesterday, our delegation featured Nancy Worley and our only Democratic Congressional representative Terri Sewell.
Math ain't our strong suit.
“Alabama, you have 60 votes,” Mayor Rollings-Blake began. “How do you cast your votes?
“Thank you, madam secretary,” Mrs. Worley replied. “The state of Alabama has champions, not only in football, but we have champions in civil rights, in voting rights. We have champions for equal pay. And we cast, proudly, 50 champion votes for Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, and we cast nine votes for Senator Bernie Sanders.”
A puzzled Rollings-Blake quickly did the math, along with everyone else in the arena and the millions watching on television, and realized Alabama had come up short.
“Don’t y’all have one more?” She sheepishly asked as the crowd laughed. “I’ll count it as an abstention.”
The ridicule came quickly on Twitter.
