Montgomery's Mayoral Election

Alabama Political Update

by: admin

Tue Mar 10, 2009 at 15:27:39 PM CDT

Lot of interesting rumblings in Alabama politics today.

1. There is a lot of talk about a Federal Grand Jury investigating Alabama Attorney General Troy King. Doc's Political Parlor has the links to all the stories. Some thing it is purely political and others are quite happy to see the AG in this position.

2. Montgomery is having a Mayoral Election today. Six candidates are running to replace Congressman Bobby Bright. Conventional wisdom is that today's election will produce Todd Strange in a runoff with Michael Briddell. However, a lot will depend on turnout and of course Strange could get 50% + 1 to avoid a runoff altogether.

3. I've heard from a few different reliable sources that Selma Senator Hank Sanders may consider jumping in the 2010 7th Congressional District to replace Artur Davis. Of course this is all speculation and nobody will confirm or deny this rumor. I will say that it could change some of the dynamics at play although I'm on board with my candidate.
