How Mo Brooks doesn’t do better, is beyond me.
But, with these results, I guess it’s time for Tommy Tubberville to announce. And more importantly, for the Tide Faithful and War Damn Eagles to put aside their differences for one day and let Tubberville beat the snot out of Jones.
They can fight in the parking lot, after they cast their votes.
Mo is hardly known south of Cullman.
Tuberville has already announced; can’t get a Power 5 head coaching job any more, so why not run for Senate.
Oh, for the days of smoke-filled rooms when the party bosses would bring everyone in and tell clods like Tommy T and Roy Moore, “you’re not running; now, go home, shut up and get behind the person we nominate.”
This nomination should be Mo Brooks’s by acclamation. Why the party can’t get behind him is a complete mystery to me.
Mo doesn’t have the name recognition but I think he could win if McConnell doesn’t throw his support into a campaign to trash him like last time.
He is from Northern Alabama. Downstate, his name doesn't carry as much weight.
Luther Strange and his supporters did their best to slam Mo in the last senate race. Of course, Mo was not in Trump's corner in 2016, so that is also held against him.
