Mo Brooks is thinking about running for the open Alabama Senate seat next year

I know many will say "Good, Doug Jones or another Democrat will easily beat that lunatic!", please remember, it's Alabama. Roy Moore is perhaps even crazier, and he would have won had it not been for allegations of going after underage girls. This worries me a lot.

As in conservawhacks like Mo Brooks and Tommy Tuberville will get more votes.

I'm more interested in getting rid of Ron Johnson here in Wisconsin, next year.

He's the second dumbest Senator right now, behind Tuberville.

I'd like to know more about who is running against Johnson, before supporting him or her.

In fact, I don't know of anyone, yet, who will be running in democratic slot.

Unfortunately until more of the populace gets more education, our state has about another generation of ignorance.

Mo was DA here in Huntsville for a while. We all hated him. As far as Tubs, he cheated in football.

It wouldn't be easy for any Democrat to win. Jones won in large part because of his opposition. Brooks would be a tougher ask.

Birmingham's mayor, Randall Woodfin, has been a rumored possibility on the Democratic side.

I have no love for Shelby, but at least he's an establishment Republican. He's no Insurrectionist.
