Artur Davis to challenge Sessions for Senate?

The Birmingham News reports that Rep. Artur Davis is considering a run for U.S. Senate in 2008. I've been pretty impressed with Rep. Davis. He's been one of the few voices of moderation in an overwhelmingly liberal House Democratic caucus. Still, it's not too hard to be considered a "moderate" when the standard for comparison is set by Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and Charlie Rangel.

Davis would have a tough time against Sessions, but if he continues to vote like a "progressive" Southern Democrat - conservative on "God, guns, and gays"...moderate-to-liberal on Medicare, Social Security, and other social welfare issues - he might just have a chance. Don't count him out.
