Before the Alabama Senate race is called . . . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . . can I get some cheers for the voters that ARE the Democratic base. African Americas and women. The National party needs to pay more than lip service to these groups. They need to be our LEADERSHIP.

[Stallion]

1. And for Voters of Character

[bench scientist]

2. WORD.

AA women went for Jones 97 %. They should lead the party.

[DesertRat]

3. CNN exit poll shows black women are delivering at a crucial moment.

[Skittles]

5. OUTSTANDING!!!

[catbyte]

12. Am I reading that right--65% of White women voted for MOORE?!?

[DesertRat]

19. Looks that way to me

[FakeNoose]

25. They just reported a large number of write-in votes

There were at least 22,000 Republicans who did a write-in because they couldn't pull the lever for Moore.
That means a LOT when Jones has won with probably less than 20,000 vote difference.

Those were write-in voting Republicans (by and large) who knew they were probably giving it to Jones.
Also the black voters were total heroes too, showing up and voting when it really meant something.

[Crowman2009]

15. Glad to be a part of that 23% as well!

[brush]

28. Woohoo for AA women, but give AA men some credit too. 92% ain't nothing to turn your nose up at.

That's the second highest Democratic demographic by far.

[Politicub]

4. Yes!!!!!

Kick kick kick!!!!

[yardwork]

6. Yes!

[eppur_se_muova]

7. TOO LATE !!

[DAngelo136]

8. Once again

White women are proving themselves suspect in an election situation.
Even with everything that Roy Moore has been revealed himself to be, too many white women considered their skin color first before their gender or their Economic well being.
Something to think about in future campaigns.

[whathehell]

24. Once again..Can we lose the divisiveness?..

"Once again, white women are 'suspect"?...Gee, if "white women are "suspect", what are White MEN,?...Tried & convicted, I'd guess.

This is a happy night...How about we forget the finger pointing for awhile?

[dlk]

9. The Wave of Decency Continues!

Decent American continue to make their voices heard. Onward!

[mdbl]

10. I hope Alabama makes the right choice and that's not Roy Moore

I still worried about all those little red dots outside the larger cities. They need to be deprogrammed.

[BadgerMom]

11. Kick

[NCTraveler]

13. The base.

We have earned it.

[stonecutter357]

[zentrum]

30. Nomiki Konst..

...would be a great one.

As would Letitia James in New York.

They speak from deep comviction, are not "managed" and actually have the passion, values and autheticity of old style Democrats.

[raven mad]

33. And I didn't know this until I listened to the entire victory speech -

December 12th was Doug & Louise's 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

Alaskans don't stand much on formality and automatically assume if we speak of Lisa or Byron or Uncle Ted, you know what we're talking about. THIS couple is going to be in EVERYONE'S first name list! And this was one HELL of a speech!
