Harri Anne Smith’s campaign tried to push as a poll result for the percentage of people in the district who would vote for her, but Parlor readers know that that the real poll result was that 24%, not 43%, of respondents supported Smith.

On the other hand, she may have had it in her pocket all along. She had a favorable poll that showed she had a leg up on potential opponents, and those voting for other candidates did not organize into one anti-Smith bloc.

Certainly not in Covington County. If she wants to win, she is going to have to hustle. All this talk about her being the natural candidate and the pre determined person to hold the job is ridiculous. I doubt Smith is well known oustide of the three countied in her Senate district.

I'm not affiliated with her or her pseudo-campaign in any way so don't accuse me of that. I live in Covington County and there has been much talk about her and I think south Alabama is very ready to elect her. She knows the district well and will be what we need in Congress: someone that will truly look out for us. I'm not really sure about Jay Love or David Grimes running. They don't leave Montgomery and would not be best for our district. The Montgomery folks have another thing coming if they think they're gonna elect one of their own to represent all of us down here in lower Alabama.

The US Congress is not exactly the State Senate after all.

James will outspend the other candidates and will have the ability to buy name ID, as Danny suggests in this post. With that in mind, is Smith willing to fight a long and grueling campaign for a prize she may never attain?

Given that shes a state senator it shouldnt shock anyone to see that she's currently leading at the moment. But theres still seven months to go before the primary...so its anyones ballgame.
