AL-05 is Bud Cramer's old seat. He's a centrist Dem known for strongly supporting missile defense (see Huntsville AL). This district went 60% for Bush in '04. Dem Parker Griffith is running against Wayne Parker, who I believe has run for this seat twice. June 30th FEC numbers showed Griffith with $352K cash, $10K in debt. W. Parker had $73K cash and no debt. The Dem had an early lead, but a recent left-leaning poll showed only a 45-40 Dem lead.

GA-08 is a district Bush carried with 61% in 2004. Jim Marshall won by one point in 2006. With a Presidential election, he's facing a real struggle. Retired Maj General Rick Goddard was recruited by the NRCC to run against Marshall. As of 30 Jun the incumbent Dem had about $1.3M in the bank, with Goddard having $489K.

As of 9/30 the Dem Griffith had $127K on hand with no debt. The Pubbie challenger Parker had $255K and no debt. Another excellent pick-up opportunity in a 60% GOP district.
