Alabama votes on Tuesday in a special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now the attorney general. The last polls close at 8 p.m. Eastern. Strong support for Roy S. Moore, the Republican, is expected in rural, mostly white parts of the state and in its northern half. The Democrat, Doug Jones, aims to create a lead in the urban counties that include Birmingham and Montgomery, and across a band of largely black counties.
One critical battleground is a trio of smaller, whiter cities: Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville. Mr. Moore won a hard race in 2012 by keeping things close there. Mr. Jones hopes to win the cities by a convincing margin.

I've once or twice heard a similar version ;-)
Poignant cartoon.

Don’t you love autocorrect. The polls don’t close is what that is supposed to say

I realize things could go South.
We will have to wait and see.
I think Moore is a good man. I predicted he would win by 10. We’ll see.
STAnding with you in prayer!
Just remember 8 November, 2016. The Media Maggots were soiling themselves right up until about 10 PM EST. Relax.
Mmmm....brussel sprouts, all hot and buttery. Bit of salt and pepper, and I’m in heaven.
Now, back to the election.
I’m having a ball trolling Mediaite.
They are, of course, claiming widespread voter suppression. lol
Just getting here. What is the mood around here? My gut is that a state that Trump won by 27% isn’t going to vote for an MSM backed lib. Time, of course, will tell.
Thanks for the link. Gave my husband and me a lovely chance to dance - hopefully in preparation for a real celebration of Alabama as the returns come in. Come on, Alabama! We’re all Alabamans tonight! Show us what you’re made of, and show the crooks you can’t be bought!
You’re right.
Oddly, one of the most outrageous stations was Fox Business (of all things) who, a few hours before things turned, were talking as if Hillary as President was a done deal - just beyond imagination that it could go any other way.
Hopefully they’ll be forced to eat crow on their “10 point lead” poll for Jones.
Of course!
Have fun with that! lol
“Just remember 8 November, 2016.”
As if any one of us could forget!
Amen!
I do believe that many in the Media have yet to fully appreciate that message. :-)
