Davis is a pretty capable Tom, but the white Christians of Alabama are not going to elect a Negro to statewide office.

He's skilled at appealing to conservative whites. Which doesn't exactly endear him to me, given that he sits in an utterly safe seat and primaried one of the better House members- Earl Hilliard- to get there.

I'm not sure about Alabama where he could actually win against Artur Davis.

He would be heavily favored.

I could see Mississippi going Dem before Alabama.

Alabama has a larger population of "populist"-leaning white voters who might, theoretically, at some point in the future, be more inclined to support a Democratic presidential candidate. Alabama also has a larger population of socially "moderate" (not "moderate" in the normal sense of the term, but not proudly racist) suburban whites who might, theoretically, etc.

Not in the South. Georgia is full of those "moderate" types, and they're the strongest Republican voters in the state.
That's why I said "theoretically, at some point in the future..."
