You’re probably right there... that’s what Pete Wilson had as governor of CA.

Well I have to head to bed. Lots to do tomorrow. Just hope I can sleep after this troublesome evening.

I have always said this state was full of sleepy conservatives. Meaning that they just think that they are conservative, but really are accepting of the status quo. I thought 2016 changed that. Today they proved me right on my original thought. You would have thought that the economic devastation to this state in recent years would have meant something. It did not.

[Coronal]

The large majority of uncounted ballots are in locations which Jones won.

[Yosemitest]

Military mail-in votes, other mail-in votes !
Never give up !

[wardaddy]

Plus one Jane

[Jane Long]

Goodnight. Hope we all get some rest.

May tonight’s disappointment turn into tomorrow’s good news/opportunity.

[wardaddy]

I confess

My southern electorate ain’t what it was

Sad really sad.

This is the painful part

[Karl Spooner]

Do they have a figure on how many absentee votes there are?

[caww]

Well it’s without a doubt a difficult battle when your fighting your own party...and the Demo-rat Machinery... and the DeMo-rat Media....... In Moore’s case he knew that going in, especially in light of his nomination to run in the first place. That was no shoe in for sure.

I agree the nation has been damaged....more than any realize is almost all self-inflicted...but it’s not quite beyond redemption, if you will, yet. Close but not quite. We shall surely see. I have no doubt this Presidency is the last chance....ever.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I think we have to lower our expectations of the Trump presidency somewhat. He isn’t going to get much at all in long term change (beyond his presidency). We will not get a better immigration system through Congress, which is more come-one, come-all open borders now than it was before today. It was bad already but now the Swamp is deeper, darker and more entrenched than it was before.

We can make some gains still on economy...but even the GOPe went for tax cuts. That’s about the limit on what he can accomplish domestically. And I think we need to expect that. The culture issues, the climate change hoax and the immigration problems...and even the courts...will get no better looking forward than they are today.

[wardaddy]

It’s funny how every election is now a mandate on Trump

Funny how that works

[wardaddy]

Yes

This is a stinging defeat brought to us totally unexpectedly from Alabama

It’s shameful

[Karl Spooner]

Almost 2000 absentees ballots in Montgomery county alone.
**********************************************************

Montgomery County Circuit Clerk Tiffany McCord said absentee voting was higher than expected for Tuesday’s special election in the U.S. Senate.

McCord said she initially ordered only 400 ballots but had sent out more than 1,800 by late this afternoon

[wardaddy]

Well dear it sucks doesn’t it

Just shameful

I’m guessing over a third of whites voted Jones

Vestavia and Mountainbrook and Daphne ....the nice Tahoe or Land Cruiser and private schools and vacations at 30-A sorts

Just damn...
And younger voters I’d reckon...

I got bushwhacked on this one....never figured it possible

[Mozzafiato]

We need to modernize elections. I should be able to get a printed receipt of my votes and then login online and confirm my votes were tallied correctly (and nobody switched my vote). Until this happens, Republicans will get cheated in urban areas forever.

[caww]

Don't be too sad Wardaddy.....it's not just the south....Liberal Cancer spreads.... and that's what the educational system ,liberal media and 8 yrs of Obama has moved throughout this country.

I especially dislike all the liberals have used to “park” their people in strategic places of control.....and how they abuse naive college students, and other organizations they're simply using to acquire power. Too many Americans 'woke up" too late in the day...so now they're all scrambling to stop the flood waters that have ensued....and here we are trying to re-enforce the dam before it breaks..and this during a fierce thunder and lightening storm!

[caww]

McCord said she initially ordered only 400 ballots but had sent out more than 1,800 by late this afternoon....

Sounds like more than mischief to me.....

[wardaddy]

It’s my South and I’ve noticed it changing

Young educated folks are brainwashed with progressive viewpoint even here with soft men and strident females

They purposely don’t speak southern like they are ashamed

Times move on

I didn’t ...I’m 60

My boomer peak is the fulcrum point of age and voting for whites even in the south

Alabama just elected a senator no different from Chuck Schumer except he isn’t Jewish and his voice is more palatable

Otherwise...a democrat leftist

Alabama...not Minnesota

This is a frigging earthquake of weird

Basically Morris Deee or Mark Potok just got elected senator form Alabama to replace Jeff Sessions

Same race baiting conservatives are Nazis type as those two

[Karl Spooner]

My state won’t even count absentees or mail ballots unless they can make a difference in the race. That’s why I was wondering just how many there are.

[Coronal]

Dream On.
