RE: Doug Jones will absolutely lose, so Hello Senator Moore.
What makes you so certain of this?
Nothing in life is certain, but I did see a pre-runoff poll that showed that Moore would beat Jones by a larger margin than Strange would.
Now, I confess that confused me some, but perhaps MAGA nation was signalling their disgust with establishment Washington by sitting out. Who knows?
In any event, it would be a huge political shocker for AL to send a Senator to caucus with Chuck Schumer.
