Congressman Allen Boyd faces a host of challengers -- including a serious threat in the Democratic primary from Senate Minority Leader Al Lawson of Tallahassee. Lawson and the Republicans are factors in this race, but Boyd has one huge advantage -- money.

While Congressman Allen Boyd faces a primary fight with Senate Democratic Leader Al Lawson, D-Tallahassee, the veteran congressman has also drawn a host of challengers from the right.
