Roy Moore unwilling to concede: ‘It’s not over’
NY Post ^ | December 13, 2017 | 12:10am | David K. Li

GOP Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore refused to concede on Tuesday night and insisted more votes could still swing the race and save him from a stunning defeat to an underdog Democrat.

“When the vote is this close, that it’s not over,” he told supporters in Montgomery at his campaign rally shortly after Democrat Doug Jones already had been declared the winner by multiple news organizations and had given a televised victory speech.

With all precincts reporting, Jones had 49.9 percent and Moore 48.4 percent.

Moore quoted from scripture and told supporters to wait for all votes to come in – including provisional ballots and those cast by overseas military members.

“That’s what we’ve got to do, is wait on God and let this process play out,” Moore said. “But the votes are still coming in and we’re looking at that.”

If we gain any seat in IL, I’m looking at Mark Kleine to upset rat Cheri Bustos in a district Trump carried. He’s raised a cool half mil so far, including 100K+ of his own money.

Doug will win the primary because he’s the most conservative Republican in that primary. The moderate primary vote will split, helping him win the primary. He’ll win the general election because Republicans won in the 10th District in 12 of the last 14 elections. I lived in that area for 17 years, in Great Lakes, North Chicago, Glenview, Mundelein, and Wheeling.

You don't think that when people start looking at their lost state and local tax deductions and what it does to their federal taxes it's not going to be held against the Republicans? In a upper class district like the 10th?

No, I don’t think that will happen. I think that the voters will think that we need more Republicans, in Congress, so that they can cut tax rates more.

By capping SALT deductions they just voted to increase taxes on many, perhaps most of the voters in the Illinois 10th Congressional District. And you expect them to elect someone to do it to them again? Are all voters in Illinois that trusting?

You are correct, those will be tough races for us; but I was responding to a poster who was predicting that the GOP would take both NV-03 and NV-04 yet lose the Senate election, so I was granting him his initial assumotion.

“He’ll win the general election because Republicans won in the 10th District in 12 of the last 14 elections.”


Yes, but the Democrats have won 2 of the 3 elections under the current lines, which heavily favor the RATs. RINO Bob Dold did win in 2014, which was a great year for the GOP both in IL and nationally, but I wouldn’t place the IL-10 very high on a list of potential GOP pickups.

Phil used to live in IL-10 (he's since relocated to Nevada, so I can't fault him for being optimisitc that a decent conservative will win his old congressional district. Still, I agree the odds of taking that district are pretty slim. Phil has a good point that Bennett might win the primary with the "moderate" vote being split between the two Dem-lite GOP candidates, plus Bennett just might win due to him having the most "ballot friendly" name, and many voters probably didn't research their candidates and vote along the lines of "hmmm, that guy sounds good"

That's ironic Trump won Bustos district and performed very well there, I thought the RATs redistricted it to be "safe Dem" in order to purge Bobby Schilling (who had won under the old district lines in a big upset at the time, since a bigger name Republican, Andrea Zinga, had narrowly LOST it three times). Weird that Trump did so well in RAT areas downstate, while doing terrible in formerly "solid Republican" suburban areas in the Chicago area, like DuPage and Lake. Something like Roskam's district went Hillary while Bustos district went Trump? Cue Twilight Zone music.

Ideally, I wish we could defeat wife beater Bill Foster, and that guy with the impossible to pronounce last name that replaced Suckworth in the House.

Ain’t so many rat areas downstate any more.

Rock Island county elected a GOP State Senator in ‘14, our only pickup in either chamber that year.

Under the previous lines, we’d have kept that damn 17th district.

Zinga btw was only the nominee twice, in ‘04 and ‘06 and she wasn’t close either time.
