Can we? Yes we can!

The piece focuses entirely on Artur Davis’s candidacy and I particularly liked this…

The Alabama of 2009 is a far different place from 1963, and from 1994, when an African-American state Supreme Court Justice, Ralph Cook, was advised not to show his image in his election campaign advertisements so as not to draw attention to the fact that he was black. “Forget race,” Davis says. “There are parts of the state where people haven’t seen a Democrat in a while.”

He’s absolutely right, and it’s the point I keep making over and over again. There are voters who will support Artur in every corner of this state, but for too long, they have been ignored by Democrats as a whole and that’s why we don’t have a Democratic governor now. If Artur only takes one thing from the Obama campaign, it’s that every vote in every area matters. He should not ceede any territory to another candidate and should be fighting for every single vote, and I think he will.

Can Alabama Spark a Democratic Revival in the South? – TIME.

UPDATE: Think South also had some thoughts on Artur’s candidacy.
