| Fifty-state tour: Alabama |
|---|
| For the GOP, Alabama is in the heart of the solid south. Alabamans have voted reliably
conservative for a generation now - especially in the presidential race - and 2008 stands to be no different. In
2004, George Bush won here by a whopping 63%-37% margin over John Kerry. In the Senate race that year, Richard
Shelby retained his seat by an even greater margin. And after a very close gubernatorial race in 2002, Governor
Bob Riley handily won re-lection in 2006. Neither Shelby nor Riley is up for re-election this year, but junior
Senator Jeff Sessions is running. He will easily join the eventual GOP presidential candidate in the winner's
circle in this state.
In the House of Representatives, Alabama's political makeup is remarkably stable. Not one of Alabama's seven
House seats has changed parties since at least as far back as 2000. That's 28-0 for the incumbent party over the
last 4 election cycles. During that time, the balance of power has favored the GOP, 5-2, in Alabama's delegation.
Don't expect that to change this year. All incumbents are heavily favored, and the open seat of retiring Rep. Terry
Everett in CD-2 will undoubtedly be filled by another Republican.
Be sure to check out all the great information on the Alabama state page.
