... Jones interviewed outside his voting precinct:

"Alabama we have come so far with too many things, and there is saying, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Alabama is not going to let that shame happen again."

1. You don't sound happy. Surely tens of millions with the

decency, ethics, and responsibility to vote for him deserve him? Including you, of course.

...during lunch. Place was nearly empty. It’s a pretty red area, so I hope that’s a good sign. Passed two midtown locations on my way back, and there were lines. Midtown is pretty blue.
