So far I've heard that Roy Moore, Jeff Sessions, and former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville want the seat. Tuberville may not fight dirty, but I imagine that Sessions and Moore will be slinging mud against the others in the primary. Hopefully they'll dirty up the eventual goper nominee enough that Jones will come out ahead in the general again.
