Alabama Line |
(R) Jeff Sessions (1-19)
Strong incumbent did not get a stiff challenge.
(D) Vivian Figures (19-1)
If Sessions had vulnerability, it was not to Figures.
(R) Jay Love (12-13)
Looks close. GOPers often boosted in prez election years.
(D) Bobby Bright (13-12)
Montgomery Mayor is Dems' best shot at the seat in a generation.
(R) Mike Rogers (1-4)
The power of incumbency and huge warchest should send him back to DC.
(D) Josh Segall (4-1)
Strong campaign. 2nd largest black population in any GOP House district.
(R) Robert Aderholt (1-99)
Wins in a cakewalk.
(D) Nick Sparks (>100-1)
Maybe another Sparks could make this competitive.
(D) Parker Griffith (9-11)
The favorite but will have to outperform the top of the ticket.
(R) Wayne Parker (11-9)
Hopes third time for the seat will be the charm.
(D) Lucy Baxley (17-18)
Former LG has name ID edge in a race that is a virtual tossup.
(R) Twinkle Cavanaugh (18-17)
Has firepower, and the R gets a boost in prez election year.
(R) Greg Shaw (2-3)
Some contributors felt he should be listed as an even stronger favorite.
(D) Deborah Bell Paseur (3-2)
Roundtable divided on her capacity to surprise.

Savage’s comments have again been taken out of context. Look on his website and he has links to most of his various discussions of the condition, including an interview with a leading psychiatrist in the field. Don’t play into Media Matters’ tricks by making Savage the bad guy- Al Quaeda is the bad guy. Don’t forget that, and fight for free speech.

He said 99% of all cases of autism are a fraud. He does the right to free speech and we should all exercise our rights and denounce his lunacy.
