| Description | MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Republican U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions has more than $2 million in his campaign chest after a fundraiser with the vice president, but it's not keeping Democrats from considering a challenge.
State Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks and state Sen. Vivian Davis Figures, D-Mobile, say they are giving it a serious look. And retired Jefferson County District Judge Pete Johnson may be a possible candidate.
Sessions, Alabama's junior senator, will be seeking a third term during the 2008 presidential election. More than 500 people, including a who's who of the Birmingham business community, paid $1,000 each to attend a fundraising luncheon last Monday with Vice President Dick Cheney. Those donations will be added to about $1.8 million Sessions expects to report in a few days on his new campaign finance form. |
