Gubernatorial Race Tightens on Democratic Side (AL)

[ccharles000]

Gerald Johnson of Capital Survey Research Center, an arm of the Alabama Education Association, reportedly told the Hole in the Wall Gang yesterday (Tuesday) that his polling showed the race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination between Artur Davis and Ron Sparks is tightening up. The Hole in the Wall Gang is a group of Montgomery Democratic heavyweights, typically including Jere Beasley and Paul Hubbert among others, who meet informally at the Farmers Market downtown to discuss Alabama politics.

According to a source familiar with the gathering, Johnson told the group that Davis’ numbers have dropped such that Davis and Sparks are essentially within the margin of the error for the poll. While Davis’ numbers have dropped, the number of undecided voters has grown, and Sparks has not yet grown his support meaningfully.

1. Either one will get their ass kicked in November

Unless, the Alabama GOP goes nuts and nominates Tim James or Roy Moore. On the other hand, Alabama is just crazy enough that they might elect Tim James or Roy Moore which is a scary thought.

2. Who's more right-wing, James or Moore?

Or is one right-wing and the other Ron Paulish?

3. That's kind of like asking whether Hitler or Pol Pot was more evil

Both are far right buffoons who do outrageous things to get attention and appeal to the tea-bagger types.

I don't know if you've seen Tim James "English" ad yet, but it's really something...
