I received my "Sessions" bumper sticker today.
Senator Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, is up for election this fall and his campaign is staging a Bumper Sticker Blitz on January 19. Supporters are encouraged to adorn their cars with "Sessions" bumper stickers this Saturday. At this time, stickers are only available to Alabama residents. You won't get your sticker in time for the blitz but you can still request them here. Come on folks, let's show support for the Senator who lead the fight against the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, or Amnesty bill last spring and as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee is a leader in the fight to get conservative judges like John Roberts and Samuel Alito confirmed.

Ag Commissioner Ron Sparks signs his Alabama political death warrant. Sparks has joined the Hillary Clinton as Co-Chair of Rural Americans for Hillary. Rumors flew last year about a possible Sparks run against Jeff Sessions for Senate in 2008. A lot of people have been headed to HRC's camp lately (The Alabama Democratic Conference, the black wing of the state Democratic Party, endorsed New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in October), but how popular is she in Alabama?

  • Pollster has her losing to 4 of the top 5 Republicans in the general election.
  • Rasmussen & Fox Television Stations Inc have her being defeated by McCain, Rudy, and Fred. She ties with Romney. Coincidentally, two-term Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, would handily defeat Democratic candidate Vivian Sessions 62 to 30 percent, the report said. Sessions would receive 90 percent of the Republican vote and more than a fifth of Democratic voters.
  • Clinton has a very favorable rating of 27%, somewhat favorable 18%, somewhat unfavorable 11%, very unfavorable 41% and 3% are undecided in Alabama.

Notice the difference in the very favorable and very unfavorable ratings. I read once where James Carville would not work for a candidate if there was more than a 15 pt spread between the two. HRC is right at 14% in Alabama. These were the newest polls I could find. Survey USA reflects the same results as the above polls.
