Quote: Edwards, with strong connections to the state's trial lawyer community, outraised his opponents in Alabama through Sept. 30, according to federal campaign disclosure reports. However, Alabama Democrats began putting more cash into the wallets of Clinton and Obama by the end of the year. The results of the latest Press-Register/USA survey also suggest a split among white and black voters. Thirty-nine percent of white Democrats favored Clinton, while Obama and Edwards each received 13 percent. Thirty-five percent were undecided. Obama led among black Democrats, with 49 percent to Clinton's 18 percent. One percent chose Edwards. Thirty-two percent of black voters were undecided. David Lanoue, a political science professor at the University of Alabama, said those numbers reflect national trends, which suggest that Obama's name recognition has gradually improved his prospects among black voters. "(Hillary Clinton) had superior name recognition, and there was the strong support (former President) Clinton had among the African-American community," Lanoue said. "But as Obama became better known, and it was increasingly clear he was a strong and viable candidate, I think his appeal among African-Americans has grown."

Quote: "It's a little unusual in that we're fairly close to the election to have almost 30 percent undecided," said Keith Nicholls, the poll's director and a political scientist at the University of South Alabama. Nicholls said the large undecided vote may stem from the long list of GOP candidates and people having difficulty deciding which way to go.
