Fake polls! Hey, just like the polls that showed Hillary ahead!

We all know how they turned out.

Roy Moore is the better candidate. It’s a good night.

1980 was also the year that I was not much into health food...but was into champagne.

Between Moore and Brooks, there is now 59% not Strange votes.

Roy Moore in the U.S. Senate; can’t wait to see the progressive/RINO heads explode, starting with Mitch McConnell

Hmm... what are the voter eligibility rules for the runoff? Can Dems switch sides?

I found this election map of Moore’s last statewide election in 2012. Maybe an indicator of how Moore might fare in a general.

Here, Moore won 52%-48%. Basically, Moore landslided in the rural areas, won the suburban counties while losing the counties containing the state’s major cities plus the “Black Belt” counties. Some of the city losses were slight (Mobile, Huntsville), while others were big (Birmingham, Montgomery).

Having said that, 2012 was a presidential year, and black turnout was up. And since Moore is running for a federal office, the issues are very much in his favor. Moore’s “polarizing” image might cost him some votes in the cities, but rural Alabama is likely even more Republican in the Trump era than it was back in 2012. He should do much better this year.

Not sure. Went looking for the runoff rules. No luck.

I’d have voted for Brooks, who unfortunately placed third. (On the plus side there won’t be another House vacancy)

But Moore is a firebrand, the Senate could use one of those instead of a shady appointee.

His last court election was way too close, but as you say that was a state judicial office where rats do better, in a POTUS year with Blacks turning out for Obama.

Unless anyone thinks he could have genuine trouble in the general (Auh2?) I see no reason to not back Moore 100%.
