Even after TWELVE years (he last ran in 1996), I dare say he still has more Name ID district-wide than Parker Griffith has. Point 2 - You know as well as I that BOTH parties are going to throw money at this race since it is an open seat that could easily go Republican. Neither Parker Griffith nor Wayne Parker, if they survive their respective primaries, is going to be hurting for money. This is going to be a close, hard-fought race. To suggest anything else at this point is being extremely naive. Parker -

How does Wayne Parker, a guy who last ran for office FOURTEEN YEARS AGO, have "name ID"? Repubs are sucking wind on this one. They have no money, and no organization, and should just get used to calling Sen. Parker Griffith "Congressman Parker Griffith." Apparently having Parker in your name qualifies you for this race?

He has the best Name ID, which is crucial in a 2-month campaign, plus he just so happens to be a rock solid conservative.

Now, when he runs, you can laugh. But I really believe that Republican voters in the Fifth District will unite around Wayne Parker.

He is well liked in the Huntsville business community, is very involved in economic development and revitalization, and can raise the needed cash.
