OPENING REMARKS - continued:
And I wish I could shake hands and thank all of you in this State who voted for me..and those of you who did not..for I know you voted your honest convictions...and now, we must stand together and move the great State of Alabama forward.
I would be remiss, this day, if I did not thank my wonderful wife and fine family for their patience, support and loyalty....and there is no man living who does not owe more to his mother than he can ever repay, and I want my mother to know that I realize my debt to her.
