Ray McKee (R) announced his candidacy last year and was Cramer's only opposition.

But now, with an open seat, there are many other possible candidates. People who've been mentioned include:

Dems - Susan Parker, Parker Griffith, Tom Butler (may run as GOP).

GOP - Mo Brooks, Dale Strong (if Brooks doesn't run), Stan McDonald, Tom Young.

mimpdaddy - I wasn't aware that Rep. Cramer opposed the award of the tanker contract to Northrup / EADS in Mobile. Can you provide more details?

JesusisLord - you're right. The region has voted GOP at the Presidential level for decades, the State has two GOP Senators, 5 of 7 GOP House Reps.
