A thread to discuss the results.
I feel like Lamb has a lot of momentum, has run as a moderate, and has run a better campaign. I'll predict he'll win tonight (although I'd like to see Saccone win).
NYT does a good job with election results.

GOP attorneys headed to PA Court demanding impounding of voting machines for Allegheny County due to reports of electronically switching votes!!
I’ll take that.
Because the hatred spewing from the dems for him will be a pleasure.
Do you think he will be the ONLY dem not to be in this resist thingee. Why, the black caucus will have none of that.
Moore was a loon. He was part of plenty of decisions from the bench that were NOT conservative. Spouting nonsense on the campaign trail is not “conservative”, it’s just nonsense. Unfortunately, there are enough loons on the Republican side who refuse to evaluate before following somehting off a cliff. They refuse to look at actual votes or even statements.
There are too many on our side are just in a deranged mode of wanting to be angry. So they just claim everyone is an establishment person. Again, not looking at what votes actually are on legislation, etc. They just follow what someone threw out on a website, etc.
In the end, the ones claiming the party is lazy, without researching all they are doing, are the ones being lazy.
It is the same nonsense that got us Obama and Obamacare.
Sealed indictments don’t cut it. Trump’s Justice Department needs to effectively prosecute and prove true some of the serious charges against Dems.
WHO ARE YOU????
Surely, you are not one of those half=empty people.
No time in my life for pessimism.
So switched votes in Algny, not including the odd accounting of absentee votes (likely some that don't really live in those counties) and the switching of machine votes. And the absentee votes likley not accurate in Washington county.
There is a reason that the Dem rushed out to claim victory.
And you can blame the Bush admin for the vote machines. They caved after his election and pushed out really stupid mandates that lead to these machines and an easy target for fraud.
I remember being at a lunch meeting and two young staff that worked in his first term (obviously in low roles at the Old Admin) and they were bragging about how they worked on that initiative. The rest of the table rightly looked at them like they were idiots. An unfunded mandate that hurt his own party. Smooth move.
“No time in my life for pessimism”
Great rule for winners!
And the attitude that needs to be held all the way to November.
I don’t blame Trump for the loss in Alabama. Trump would win Alabama again in a landslide.
The GOPe PAC money got behind Luther Strange early. They knew Roy Moore was too great a risk. The Alabama voters were mad at Luther Strange because he gave Alabama Governor Robert Bentley a get out of jail free pass after he was caught having an affair. Bentley appointed Strange to the senate and Strange promised not to prosecute Bentley for his crimes. The best candidate in the race was MO BROOKS. He would have beaten Doug Jones in a landslide.
The GOPe PAC money got Strange in the runoff. We were doomed from there. Trump listened to Mitch McConnell and some other GOPe insiders and then supported Strange. It was the wrong decision.
So, yes, I am faulting the GOPe for throwing their money behind the wrong candidate.
And Judge Roy Moore is a clown show. Sorry but I’ve lived in Alabama most of my life. A lot of good Christians said no. They had had enough. They didn’t turn out to vote for him.
We are not alone, Brat.
Have a great day.
I agree that it shouldn’t matter but I believe there are a lot of stupid and shallow voters out there.
Didn’t Strange have his own issues?
Yep. Unfortunately, the republican PAC money is under GOPe control. Trump didn’t need their money but most candidate will.
I am not at all impressed with Ronna Romney.
Can you give specific, verifiable examples? Or do you want to remain strategically vague?
“It is the same nonsense that got us Obama and Obamacare.”
You couldn’t be more wrong, sister.
Try refraining from looking at things through Rove-colored glasses.
Didnt Strange have his own issues?

Former Attorney General of Alabama, Luther Strange, basically offered former Governor Robert Bentley a quid pro quo if he would appoint him to Jeff Sessions open senate seat. Bentley (a moral values candidate) had an affair and used a lot of taxpayer dollars and resources (flights, resorts, etc.) to carry on his affair. He also lied to the people of Alabama. It didn’t go over well with Alabama voters.
On top of that, Strange was an uninspiring candidate. All Strange did was kept promising he would support Trump’s agenda. There was little to no enthusiasm for his candidacy.
Either get vicious against the Nazi-funded left or be defeated. Simple.
Lamb by a touchdown.
And I see zero movement by POTUS to counsel the governors on invigorating state education so that we swing back to heavy logic-based curriculum that opens young minds to logic fallacies and the ability to reason.
Either get vicious against the Nazi-funded left or be defeated. Simple.
There you go. Once it was determined this kid was a danger he should have been carpet bombed by the GOP for months on end with ads tieing him to Pelosi and radical Democrats. That he wasn’t tells you who really wanted to win this race.
And frankly, I’m sick of getting upset about it. Posting here eases some frustration, but even that is running its course.
