I would think, yes!

Especially since Wes has already been approached by the Alabama Dem. Party about running, and I believe is still working with them on an overall Southern Strategy.

But...might this also mean, the candidates will be spread too thin, early on in the game?

Alabamians are going to move their primary to the first Tuesday of February, 2008. This would supposedly follow New Hampshire by a week. The week prior to New Hampshire would be a caucus (or two) still undecided (Nevada is the CW choice), and a week prior to that would be the Iowa caucus. It remains to be seen when Arizona, Delaware, Missouri, Oklahoma and South Carolina, which were the first Tuesday in Feb., after NH, in '04; and Michigan, which is reported to be potentially moving to this same 1st Tuesday of Feb. place their primaries; and there's also the '04 caucuses of New Mexico, North Dakota, and Washington that could be on this date; and there's been reporting of a Mountain West cluster on this early Feb. date that would potentially add Utah and Colorado to the date. Still early, and lots of shaking out to do, but it sorta looks like the first Tuesday in Feb, '08 is going to be the National Super Tuesday of '08. Jerome
