Former Chief Justice Roy Moore Signs Papers to Run for Senate Seat

Tuesday, May 9, 2017 former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was at Alabama Republican Party headquarters in Hoover in order to sign the documents officially making his a candidate for U.S. Senate.

Chief Justice Moore said, “I am here to sign the qualification papers with the state. This is a very important election and I think it is very important to the people of Alabama and the state of Alabama.”

On Monday, May 8, 2017 the GOP Super PAC the Senate Leadership Fund announced that they were purchasing an incredible $2.6 million in ads for U.S. Senator Luther Strange in the Republican Primary.

Chief Justice Moore responded to the news: “We talk about draining the swamp. Well, it seems like the swamp has come to Alabama.”

The only thing higher than McMansion sales, the stock market, and
Donald Trump's ego is Republican expectations that they will be elected
to EVERYTHING.

Reversion to the mean, blow back, the swinging pendulum, call it what
