Can A Dem Win Alabama’s 2nd?

Of course one could, and Danny proposes the scenario on his site. You need a Democrat who has already proven they can do, and he provides the list, and you need the chips to fall perfectly, which they rarely do. A lot depends on who decides to run, which is why we are all watching that develop so anxiously.

Doc’s Political Parlor: Can Dem Win AL-02?

UPDATE: mooncat has some additional thoughts on the money aspect at Left in Alabama.

So, Republicans have more open seats due to retirements, plus a lot less national committee money to spend helping their candidates hold those seats than Democrats do. In my mind, this adds up to a very different election climate than we have seen in, oh, 14 years or so.

The Democratic candidate in AL-02 will need to be able to connect to those voters and will have to be able to raise a lot of money on his or her own, that’s a basic requirement. But there’s potential to tap into some DCCC $$ to help out if it’s a competitive race while the Republican may have to make do with whatever he or she can raise locally. Times have changed.

I agree, and if Ron Sparks gets in the race, it will certainly make things very interesting.
