10. I do not know if Doug Jones can beat Roy Moore

in Alabama.

I do know that he cannot beat Roy Moore unless black voters turn out un huge numbers and I do know that we will not get a huge turnout from black voters if we continue to take them for granted and instead focus on "moderate" white voters in the suburbs. While Doug Jones is obviously an old white guy, he is an old white guy whose background gives him the credibility to call down the fire on the heads of the racists who handed Moore the GOP nomination. He needs to do that.

What I also know is that, regardless of whether whites in Alabama believe Roy Moore is the messenger of the almighty and the Democratic Washington elite are Yankee reconstruction-ists, Roy Moore is an albatross who needs to be hung around the neck of every other Republican in this country. That means involvement and support at the national level.

Fight in Alabama . . . win everywhere.
