does kerry have a shot in alabama?

I'd say that Alabama and Mississippi are the 2 Southern states least likely to go for a Democrat. Connecticut seems more likely to go for a Republican.

I'd say CT and NJ are a bit like GA, whereas AL and MS are more like RI maybe.

Yeh, I'd say GE is different, it has a huge urban element, Atlanta which is strongly Democrat, not to mention liberal elements such as Athens. GE is a long shot for the Democrats in any election, MS and AL are no-hopers.

Yeah, exactly. And GA has gone Democrat as recently as 1992.

Two possible Dem wins in Alabama:

1) If Roy Moore ran as an independent
2) If Bud Cramer is the Democrat nominee

You're right about the Braves...but it makes no sense. On paper, Philadelphia, Florida and the Mets are ALL better teams than Atlanta this year...

Mazzone is a damn good pitching coach, I think that's the difference.  Jaret Wright is 9-5.  Rick Peterson is no Leo Mazzone, that's why the Braves have a better rotation despite the Mets having Leiter, Glavine, Benson, and Trachsel.

Plus, the Mets lead the league in errors (evidences by the fact that Tom Glavine is 8-9 with a 2.80 ERA.)
