Alabama: Two close races?

And taking a look at the race in Alabama for us is David Lanoue, chair of the political science department at the University of Alabama:

On the Democrats: State polls have shown Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are neck-and-neck. All indications are the state should go for Obama, Lanoue said.

And while Obama has been steadily improving his showing in nation-wide polls, he hasn’t seen an uptick in Alabama.

“The polls haven’t tracked that way,” he said. “It will be interesting.”
On the Republicans: John McCain is looking fairly good, but Mike Huckabee is close and Mitt Romney has gained in recent polls.

Young people: There’s a lot more energy, but whether that translates into votes is a different story, Lanoue said.
