A poll commissioned by the Bright campaign and done by Anzalone-Liszt Research reveals that Bobby Bright has a commanding lead over all supposed challengers in his race to retain his House seat:
Bobby Bright (D-inc): 54
Martha Roby (R): 30Bobby Bright (D-inc): 55
Stephanie Bell (R): 29Bobby Bright (D-inc): 58
Rick Barber (R): 26
(MoE: ±4.4%)
I must say that this surprises me. I have been less than optimistic about Bright's chances for reelection since he won 2 years ago. Regardless, it will be interesting to see turnout numbers on the Democratic side without President Obama drawing voters out in Montgomery. These number probably haven't been factored in, but Charlie Cook and CQ Politics still have the race rated as a toss up.
***Personal rant*** It will be also be quite intriguing to see how the GOP attacks Bright seeing that he is rated the most conservative Democrat and more conservative than some Republicans. My inkling is they will attack him as a "Pelosi" Democrat, which is fine, but maybe it will shut-up some of this people who say they "aren't Republicans" just "conservatives" on a regular basis. It's ok to be partisan, but people who pretend to be so principled and above the fray and then vote partisan no matter what really piss me off.
***Also, I continue to use the above picture because I know the people in it.***
