Likely R, but this could become competitive if Ivey gets primaried by some loon like Moore, or if the ghost of Bentley's corruption haunts her into the GE should she win the primary.
It's Alabama. Safe R.
MD was safe D and LA was safe R until they weren't.
My thoughts exactly. Note that both of the seats you mentioned switched hands largely thanks to terrible Democratic and Republican candidates, respectively. I wouldn't put money on Cobb winning this, but there's a non-negligible chance of a walking disaster like Moore or Dawson winning the GOP primary.
Alabama is much less inelastic than MD and LA, even on the state level. Until I see otherwise, this looks like Safe R. Still, Cobb could win in a perfect storm, but the GOP candidate would have to be pretty bad.
More than LA? Not much.
An excellent candidate, though still an uphill battle that will likely require a perfect storm to win.
Cobb will probably clear the field, to the chagrin of Walt Maddox who likely passed over the Senate special for this race.
Has the filing deadline for the special passed?
