Meet Martha Roby (AL-02)
May 26, 2009
From RedState: “I was going to wait until Ms. Roby had a campaign website up – she only announced last week, and this was Memorial Day weekend – but apparently the local Democrats are already beginning to play the “create multiple accounts and go after her for being a mom*” in local comment sections, so best to get this up now. So. AL-02. R+16 in the Cook Political Report; Bobby Bright won this one by something like 1800 votes. Against an incumbent and/or a Democratic President’s coattails, he would have lost. Bright claims “Blue Dog” status; he has slightly more reason than some, given that he did break with his party to vote against the ‘stimulus‘ package. The DCCC has him on their list of Representatives to protect, so he’s almost certain to get away with that, too. They may even drop more money on him this time, assuming of course that they have it to spare. …”
