Wow...No wonder they want to delay the election...

[sarah FAILIN]

1. Don't get excited.

We are still a good ways out.

[Hawaii Hiker]

3. I know but to even be competitive in a state as red as Alabama

is a positive sign.....

[sarah FAILIN]

5. I know..I live here

But I am surrounded by these idiots so I know how flippable they are. The wind direction will change and so will they.

[Hawaii Hiker]

7. Here's hoping Alabama goes blue for first time since

17. Are there more people that somewhat share your political views in Ala.

than we assume but don't bother to vote or is it real batshit RW cray cray that it looks like to outsiders?

[sarah FAILIN]

20. just a guess

Batshit crazy,-30%
Can't stand the thought of an abortion ever happening to anyone anywhere 30%
Centrists from either party willing to vote for anyone sane-30%
Young progressives wanting a free education and $15/hr which will not happen here- 10%

Those first 2 overlap some but abortions and gay marriage are their battle cry.

Life is hard for dems here and moving away is not as easy as it sounds when you have a business and property.

[sarah FAILIN]

23. That is insulting.

[olegramps]

25. It is meant to be. Republicans are an insult to America.

[sarah FAILIN]

27. just because we know who our cousins are doesn't mean we fuck them

And not everyone is a republican either, not that it has a thing to do with incest.

2. Interesting note on that poll

29 percent of respondents said the allegations made them "more likely" to vote for him. WTF?????

[secondwind]

4. Yes, but almost 40% said it made them LESS LIKELY to vote for him... this all sounds good.

[Lucky Luciano]

10. Men vs women no doubt. nt

[Grammy23]

9. My guess (and hope) is that they think it is all made up to discredit a good man.

Surely that kind of accusation doesn’t increase his appeal?? Surely they are not THAT unwilling to even look at it dispassionately, but purely on the facts? I think they just can’t deal with the obvious conflict between the accusations and who Moore claims to be. So they have to cling to the idea that it is fake, made up rumors. Of course, if it was his opponent who was facing these accusations, they’d embrace it and happily let it sink his chances. Funny how that works, huh?

[Nevernose]

11. The allegations just prove Moores innocence

Because he’s a Christian and so now, clearly, the forces of evil — Democrats, Republicans who won’t say the N word out loud, and the owners of large businesses — have conspired to destroy this man who is so much like Christ.

Because these people are crazy. This is the same 29% of people who are still hard core Trump supporters. They don’t even realize they’re in a cult and they need to be deprogrammed.

They don’t even have goalposts to move anymore, because they used the goalposts to make giant burning crosses.

12. K&R! n/t

[Thrill]

6. He still needs the DNC to pour some money in it. To GOTV

And advertise. There are some big time idiots down there

[sarah FAILIN]

13. So true

A big part of the problem is what dems we have here that will vote are not active in the local parties, mainly because I think they feel like it's hopeless and don't know where to start. What we are going to have to do is not just get out the traditional dem votes, but the convince the republicans that Jones is a good option for them. We need lots of local ads and we need people calling republicans.

[NCjack]

14. I sent more money yesterday to Jones through ActBlue. That bypasses non-Jones Campaign people

who make decisions to withhold some or all of it from the Jones Campaign. I want JC to spend my money, if needed, and when and where JC decides.

[Takket]

8. a "lead" is pretty much meaningless unless you are pulling 51% for sure

Hillary was leading all the swing states but at less than 50% before the election, and all the undecideds went to drumpf due to Russia and Comey's letter.

So a LONG way to go but there is certainly a possibility of an upset.

[cally]

15. And the DNC probably will still refuse to support Jones

DNC are idiots.

[beachbum bob]

16. Jones need to be above 50% mark to have a chance at all, like 53-55% level

46% not assured of anything except falling short

[MoonRiver]

18. Sweet home, Alabama, bring it home for abused kids!

[roamer65]

19. As a believer in the true teachings of Christ...

there is no way I could vote for that scumbag Moore.

[IronLionZion]

21. A certain type of person thinks Moore is the underdog here

with powerful forces in Washington and the media trying to look down on the people of Alabama. They think Washington Post and the establishments of both parties are conspiring to take down Moore to help the Jones.

There is also a certain type who likes assholes who break the rules and take what they want. They'd like to normalizing 30 year old adults dating 14 year old girls because they want to do it too.

They love that this pisses us off.



It ain't over til it's over. December 12th is a whole month out.

[Midnight Writer]

24. Telling a pollster you will not support a pedophile is just what to expect from voters that support

a pedophile.

Throw out the polls in this election.

[DeminPennswoods]

28. I'd trust the "robo polls" more than live person polls

I don't think most people will admit to another person they'd vote for an alleged child molester or that as a Republican they'd vote for a Dem, but in the privacy of a robo/push a button on your phone, they'd probably admit to either scenario.

[DeminPennswoods]

26. FWIW, George Will thinks Moore will lose

He was on MSNBC last evening (can't recall which show) and said he'd just returned from Alabama. He didn't give a lot of specifics, but said his conversations with Alabamans make him believe they will not send Moore to Congress.

[eleny]

29. I have that gut feeling, too

Like when we were all guessing who was going to be indicted. I felt silly saying it but I had the feeling it would be some unknown person. That turned out to be Papdopolous. I couldn't shake that notion, either, so what the heck. Moore loses.
