Alabama

Outlook: Solid Republican

Alabama’s nine electoral votes have not gone to a Democrat since 1976, though the Democrats due currently have the edge in both chambers of the state house. However, a Republican governor and two Republican U.S. Senators exemplify the typical nature of this state which George W. Bush won by 25% in 2004 – a ten point improvement over 2000.
