A year-long power struggle between the only Democratic senator who represents a Southern state and the head of his own state Democratic Party organization has exploded into charges of discrimination and intimidation, and party officials worry the feud could complicate an already difficult reelection bid in one of the most conservative states in the country.
The fight for control of the Alabama Democratic Party between Sen. Doug Jones (D) and Nancy Worley, the current head of the party, has revived painful allegations of racial discrimination, never far from the surface in a state at the heart of the battle for civil rights — even though both Jones and Worley are white, and their chief allies are black.
But what makes matters complicated are the countercharges of generational discrimination, and acrimony between the African American Democrats who were on the front lines of the fight for civil rights in the 1950s and 1960s and a younger group of rising leaders who say they are being shut out of the party they will soon control.
The dispute has even roped in Tom Perez, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), who has withheld money meant to build up the state party and threatened to leave Alabama’s delegation out of next year’s party convention in Milwaukee. Legal costs have decimated the state party’s campaign coffers, just a year before Jones faces reelection.
In a letter to Perez, two of Alabama’s representatives to the DNC called it “a urinating contest” between factions at war over the future of the state party.
The feud began last August, when Jones made known he wanted Worley to step aside. But Worley ran for another term — beating back the entire slate Jones supported.

Let not your hearts be troubled. Republicans will give it to him.
Good. Kill each other. Figuratively speaking of course. He he.
A rat feud threatens Jones reelection? Really so if the rats made nice they win? Go away.
You are too generous.
They want us Trump voters dead, turnabout is fair play.
As long as Roy Moore doesn’t run again we should be able to take back that seat...and just maybe keep a majority in the Senate.
Does Magoo still live in Alabama or is he still in DJTs dog house?
Magoo is out of contention for this race. He is too busy since he got the complete boxed set of Matlock.
This should be an easy flip back to a Republican.
I know there are mixed opinions about Roy Moore, but, let’s face it, the smear campaign against him worked, and he’s damaged goods, politically. If he runs again, it will make the pickup of the seat more difficult.
This should be an easy flip back to a Republican.
I hope somebody much better than Roy Moore—and especially a redux of Feckless Jeff Sessions—emerges to unseat Jones.
Can you just imagine how dangerous Sessions might be if he regained his old seat?
He might look to cozy up to Mittens and wreak havoc.
Alabama is a threat to Doug Jones’ reelection.
Both sides will want Roy Moore to run
Jones was a fluke. He’s going to get his ass kicked, and it has absolutely nothing to do with anything the Democrats are doing (or not doing).
The only way Jones wins is if the Republicans do something retarded in the primary again.
“I know there are mixed opinions about Roy Moore, but, let’s face it, the smear campaign against him worked, and he’s damaged goods, politically. If he runs again, it will make the pickup of the seat more difficult.”
Yea, it was a combination. He also took the bait, when it would have been easy to simply deny it all and say it was fabricated (regardless of whether true or not). But he didn’t...
Democrats will likely be going through grade school photos.
Jones has no shot at re-election unless the Republicans screw up.

Moore is stirring the pot and saying he’ll run again. Maybe he will
or he maybe looking for some under the table money to stay out.
We’ll see.

“Yes, I will run for the United States Senate in 2020,” Moore told
reporters in Montgomery, Alabama, on Thursday, after questioning
whether opponents lined up against him because he is a “staunch
conservative” who believes in God.

Thanks for sharing the great news about Arnold Mooney, whom I had not heard of before.
Wonderful to know that the GOP has some excellent new faces out there, ready to step up to the challenge for our Republic.
