It is exactly one year before the 2010 General Election, when Alabama will choose a new Governor, and Alabama's official reaction to health care reform is a done deal.
Every member of Alabama Congressional Delegtion is now opposed to the Health Care reform package put together by the Democratic majority and backed by President Obama.
Democrat Artur Davis announced his opposition today, becoming the third of the three democrats in the delegation to go against the biggest domestic initiative this year, maybe in decades. Republican members of the delegation had already indicated their opposition.
Congressman Davis is running for Governor. Will his action truly make him a more viable candidate to conservative voters in the 2010 Primary? And how about the 2010 General election, when voters have a Republican (Bradley Byrne perhaps?) as an option?
And if, despite those negative votes, reform with an "state opt-out" provision wins approval, can we now assume all of the candidates for governor would support opting out? Mr. Sparks?
