...But it also indicated that Democrat Doug Jones will be a formidable candidate against either GOP candidate even in the deep red state.
The automated landline telephone poll conducted by Emerson College in Boston put Jones - who won the Democratic primary outright - in a statistical tie with either Moore or Strange as opponents...

9. i'm not a "moral victory" guy

we lost some special elections it felt like we should have won, and no one remembers close calls months later.... but if a Dem could even get within 6 or 7% in AL that would give me a lot of hope.

2. Wow! This guy was stripped of his judicial credentials. RWNJ

He wanted the 10 Commandments in front of the Courthouse.

I enjoy Dotard losing, but he will be to the right of the most extreme RW Senators.

4. Hugh Hewitt said Moore will destroy their party, if he wins. No sane Republicans are happy tonight.

11. Are there sane Repubs?This guy makes Pence seem liberal

13. Well, whatever passes for "establishment" these days. Corker, Graham, Sasse

[Alice11111]

14. Yeah, Collins, McCain lately.

3. Chris Hayes had some lady from Alabama on his show

and she said everybody she talked to in the state disliked both candidates but at least Moore stands up for his principles . Or something like that. Maybe the Dems will have a chance if we can get people to show up and vote.

5. I spent the night at a Birmingham hotel this weekend

At the continental breakfast there were a bunch of us (various races) in the lobby and FOX news was on. The others in the room, several were from Alabama, were pretty vocal and pissed off when FOX showed drumf's sonofabitch quote...like really disgusted. One guy said he has been pissed ever since drumf mocked the challenged reporter. One Alabama guy brought up drumf had been in the state to do the Strange rally.
I know nothing about their state politicals but clearly having drumf at the rally, the biggest national/state media takeaway from it was the SOB comment and drumf's ranting sure seemed to turn off a number of Alabama folks if the people in the room with me are any example of locals' reactions.

6. In SC's special election to replace Mulvaney, the 2 Trump aligned republicans

that ran in their primary lost by a wide margin. Democrat Archie Parnell came within 3 points of winning the whole thing.

12. Very interesting story, & uplifting. It was disgusting &

embarrassing. I never use such words around my family or people I don't know even, though I may cuss like a sailor with some friends and on here.

DT was the one disrespecting the country. Totally inappropriate. Unprofessional. Unpresidential. I bet some of those Alabama men would never say that in front of their wives.

10. This really scares me guys. Moore is a right wing theocrat who believes homosexuality should

be illegal, is proud of being a birther, and got kicked off state Supreme Court twice.

The damage he's going to do in the Senate is very scary.

[octoberlib]

15. It scares me , too. Bannon thinks he's got magical powers now. And he's got more batshit

bigots lined up in other states.

16. Oh I know. I am sick to my stomach about this.

Him and Kid Rock... both utterly deplorable.
