The extra polling attention in Alabama was probably due to our ousted State Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore.He put 4 of his aides onto our Primary ballot, dividing Conservative opinion greatly (conservatives are upset that an unelected federal judge removed Justice Moore, and they are upset that several Republicans followed the law in the process).
But as of yesterday, Moore is no longer a factor. President Bush won the Republican primary here yesterday, so even the most radical of Moore supporters can't hope to become Moore delegates to the Republican convention in NYC this year. Only 1 of Moore's aides won their primary races...Parker beat Jean Brown, a Republican Justice who voted to send Moore to a judicial review.
This will pacify 90% of Moore's supporters. They'll now concentrate on getting their Republican Justice to beat their Democratic state supreme court competition...putting everyone back inside the Big Tent again.
Life is good.
As such, interest will now wane from Washington, D.C. about a potential split among Conservatives in Alabama.
Or put another way, I doubt that you see so much polling activity here anytime soon.
