That's an interesting point about the 30% black population. I still say lean GOP though.

Mississippi and South Carolina have comparable black populations, and it takes a hell of a lot more than high turnout in those communities to elect Democrats to federal office. This is comparable to a Senate race in one of those states, maybe it can happen, but there's strong polarization to overcome.

Yes, if he wins, he'll flip back to the Republicans the first time they retake the House.

Either that, or in 2012 the Democratic Alabama legislature redraws his district to include the minority parts of Montgomery they put in AL-3 to make it competitive when Bob Riley ran for governor.

He's going to be a voice for farm subsidies for whichever party he aligns with.
