Race Summary
Democrats have no business winning in such a Republican district. But the success of conservative Democrats in special elections earlier this year and the party's ability to recruit Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright (D) makes this race a top opportunity. Still, State Rep. Jay Love (R) is an experienced candidate, and John McCain's coattails will help him in November.
