Anyone think Sparks is gonna win this one?

Sparks is in a pretty good situation, money-wise, at least as far as I can tell.

Bentley loaned his own campaign $750,000 to win the runoff and right now only has $200,000 cash on hand. Sparks, in contrast, ended his primary on June 1st with $110,000 in the bank.

I'm not sure if there's much contrast here. 

Especially as Bentley could write himself another check.

Is Folsom running for Lt. Governor again?

Btw, that's kind of sad thing with Folsom. In 1980 he'd surely win Senate race without Denton being aided by Reagan coattails. In 1994 he'd surely win a governorship on his own without neglecting his campaigning in a light of good approvals and James being aided by "Republican Revolution".

I don't agree with your 1980 assessment.  Denton beat Folsom by 3.1%, while Reagan beat Carter by only 1.3%.

Who the hell cares if he would have won in 1980?  Even if he had he would have been thrown out by now.  Alabama doesn't want Democrat senators
