One thing to keep in mind - blue counties can stay blue and the election can still be a Republican landslide. Here's the county votes for a few recent elections. Those same counties being blue now is nothing to worry about.

Doug Jones
Democrat

Roy Moore

“Bret Hume. What a loser.”

Bret and Brit. All the pretend conservatives at fox got outed during the 2016 election.

“I wonder if Alabama ever officially adopted that as the state song. It’s definitely become the unofficial state anthem.”

Yeah, like “Louie,Louie” being Ohio’s state song! But I imagine Alabama has had it’s song for a long time and it’s hard to give up old traditions.

[bigbob]

This as a battle of “We the People” vs people like Brit Hume.

Just for comparison in the 2016 Presidential race (when Trump won Alabama big time) black turnout was 26% of the vote.

predictit.com has it had 74-28 (includes buy/sell spread) at the moment, but has been wildly gyrating, though with roughly six points up for Moore from a couple of hours ago ...

Hello Senator Jones. Republicans blow another easy win by nominating a lunatic. Nice job Alabama.

With all due respect to Billy Idol, “In the midnight hour, babe, we want Moore, Moore, Moore! With a Rebel Yell, Moore Moore Moore!”

Great song! I've seen it quite a bit tonight here, lol.

Saw Billy Idol up close back in the day in a small venue in New Britain, Connecticut. He put on an awesome show!

You’re welcome. See you there. Perhaps you can tell me what the live thread is, compared to the others? I mean I figure if they’re active than they’re live, right?

Never mind I guess I read something wrong.

Another good sign.
