I think this is a very good sign for the future.

WASHINGTON | Jimmy Carter was the last Democrat to win Alabama in the Presidential general election, but in the fundraising race for 2008, the Democrats have taken a substantial lead in the state.

Democratic presidential candidates raised more than $444,000 in Alabama in the first quarter of 2007, compared with the $187,000 raised by Republican candidates, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

The top fundraiser in the state was John Edwards, whose war chest received a $314,000 boost.

“Alabamians were increasingly frustrated with Republican leadership," state Democratic Party spokesman Zac McCrary said.
