Actually, as a liberal myself, I’d like to see him move further to the left, but I’m voting for him anyway.

Bright blates he is an independent…..he is a fence rider and lost his “independence” when he signed on with Clinton, Pulosi, Kerry, Murtha, Reed and all the other left-wing nutjobs..They would treat him like a red-headed step youn-un……..

Mayor Bobby Bright educated? The Mayor is a lawyer. Congressamn Terry Everett does not have a college degree, how qualified is that?
That is the problem with the USA, too many lawyers in government. We need to keep the lawyers in the courts, and out of The Government. The Government should be returned to, and run by the people, not the lawyers.
Mayor Bobby Bright stated on National TV, that The State of Virginia is part of the New England States. How educated is that?
Leadership? What leadership? Did he serve his country in the military?
The crime statistics, those which do become recorded, really makes Mayor Bobby Bright the most qualified
to carry on where Congressman Terry Everett left off.
The truth will be known.

Does Bobby Bright live in the 2nd Congressional District of Alabama? Oh well, the Good Ole’ Boys will fix that.
How can a person, who can not deside what political party he wants to belong to, honestely represent the interest of the people of the 2nd US Congressional District of Alabama, and not the special interest parties which has supported him in the past?
Bobby Bright wants to spread the dark cloud of corruption enveloping The City of Montgomery to the whole 2nd US Congressional District of Alabama. I hope, come election day, that the people who fled The City of Montgomery to the surrounding area, and counties have not forgotten the reason why they moved. Let the record speak for itself. We need to make a change in attitude, and not elect a clone, like Everett, from the Democratic Party.
Ask yourself, do you feel as secure living in The City of Montgomery now, as you did before Bright became mayor?

Mayor Bright possesses the leadership, qualifications, education, and experience required to be elected. He is definitely the best person to represent District 02, hands down. He has strong ties to the southern most part of the district and is very electable, whether he carries the Republican or Democratic banner. He hails from a well known and respected family in the southern part of district 02 and is himself a person of strong integrity who can get things done in D.C. for the district. We need him as our Congressman. Vote Bobby Bright for Congress!

Bright will be tough but in the end a Republican will win. We all know it.

I think Bright will be a stronger candidate in the fall than this district has seen in decades. Accordingly, the national GOP will make holding district 2 a priority. To do that, a candidate from the Wiregrass – Harri Anne Smith or another viable candidate – will be the best option for the GOP. Bobby will be able to be very competitive and perhaps triumphant if he gets an opponent from the Montgomery metro area such as Love, Grimes, or Woods. Bobby will get the money in the fall; the business community in Montgomery cannot afford not to fund a sitting mayor (ask Emory Folmar). If the Republican nominee against Bright is from Montgomery, they simply cannot compete with the leverage Bobby will have in local fundraising.

Folks in district 2 will not split votes and elect a democrat. the seat has been republican since the 60s and it will not change now. George Wallace Jr tried to win the seat as a dem and could not. See you later Bobby!

The Montgomey Mayor can run on his crime fighting actions. Oh, I forgot crime is the biggest industry in Mayor Bright’s town.

Bobby Bright is a formidable candidate. Bright will receive votes from normally GOP circles–and has strong ties with Alabama Baptists.
If Republicans want to defeat Bright, they need someone with populist appeal like George Wallace Jr.

Hey Wiregrass Voter — remember how long Bob Riley’s coattails were?

It’s possible for Alabamians to split tickets
