Every person who gives a dime to Rino Love or Grimes will have Bobby Bright looking at their FEC contributions and knowing about it and YES it IS affecting how much Love and Grimes are raising - you think Bobby Bright will only be able to raise $60K? He'll get $250,000 at his first fundraiser, and Harri Anne Smith will probably do that well also since she is raising her money OUTSIDE the range of Bright's power base. No one doing serious business in Montgomery wants to take CHANCE ONE with a sitting mayor - even in the primary. Bright's memory is as good as Emory's about who gives what, and Bright won't like it if a big-money Montgomery type gives money to ANY opponent at ANY time - the same way that Emory would have taken note. That has been a political fact of life in Montgomery since Emory Folmar perfected the art of donor intimidation in this city. If you don't know that GOPer you have no working knowledge of Montgomery politics. The proof is in Love's FEC report. There is NOT ONE contractor with the city of Montgomery on it, and NOT ONE true power player on it either. GOPer you still miss the point.

Even if some folks in Mgm are hesitant, those in the wiregrass could care less about Bright in Montgomery. What makes you think they will not support, financially, a Montgomery candidate in the general? That was your whole premise...that a Montgomery candidate would not have as much support. Believe me, they will ahve plenty of support come the general election if they win the primary. Wishful thinking Nope.

The mayor of Montgomery controls city contracts - those people will NOT give money to a possible opponent of a sitting mayor. Bright knows this as does Emory Folmar. It is a fact of life in Montgomery. And it won't matter if it is in the primary - Bright learned from Emory to read those reports. The city contractors - and those who WISH to have contracts and inflence in Montgomery - won't contribute to Love or Grimes; notice how the simple SPECULATION that Bright may run has kept the "big dogs" out of Love's coffers so far? No Aronovs, no Blounts, no big money? You don’t understand, GOPer. The mayor of Montgomery controls city contracts - those people will NOT give money to a possible opponent of a sitting mayor.

Harri Anne would be much stronger than Love or Grimes. She doesn't share Bright's base in votes AND money like Rino Jay and Grimes. Love and Grimes won't be able to raise money in Montgomery against a sitting Montgomery mayor. Goper, your reasoning does not hold water. Harri Anne would be much stronger than Love or Grimes.

I just hope Harri Anne smith is not the Republican nominee. If so, Bright has an excellent chance of winning in November. Sad but true. It will be a good race.
