Re Jones - Moore: A little reality. Sorry.

7. You certainly know your state better than I do

so your opinion matters, and I doubt that many people see AL suddenly turn blue. However, I think that you need to recognize that it was more than a lousy opponent that led to Jones' win. You now have a blueprint to follow and can see what good organization and boots-on-the ground efforts can achieve. Jones won in highly educated, high income cities and suburbs where voters would likely vote republican, yet are clearly unhappy with their party now. Combining that with high AA turnout is a winning combination. Surely you can start making inroads in state government as well.

I live in GA so I know how hard it is to be blue in a red state, but I refuse to concede to republicans. Intelligent people can see the damage this administration and this Congress are doing to our country. Whether they are willing to continue voting Democratic or the republicans simply become splintered, it is an opportunity for us.
