If you believe some of the “experts” this is the end of the old Republican Party and the convoy who elected trump is taking over the party and Moore is a classic example a guy they will never support.

LOL FROTHY

dem won bama

So anyway, I am not really clear on some things right now. Is Strange serving right now? Is he not unseated until, when? Now? When the election is certified? The moment Jones is sworn in?

Yes. Won’t be certified till at least the 26th. When McConnell says so - sometime in January.

This is what I'm not sure all the "congrats for not electing a pedophile/xenophobe/homophobe" get. Democrats just won a senate seat in a state where they didn't even bother to put up a candidate in 2014.

And a lot of the write-in's came from Richard Shelby. He was re-elected as a Democrat in 1992, then switched parties to Republican in 1994. A lot of those 22,000 write-ins came from Shelby saying he was going to vote Republican, but write in a vote for someone else instead of voting for Moore.

I already thought Walt Maddox had a decent chance to win the race for Governor in the next election. I'm now hoping this will start something even bigger.

I'm also still in shock, and it might be the whiskey talking.

Whenever McConnell decides to seat him. He's already said it won't be this year.

Not working out so well for the post office.

I don't think you understood my question. Let me try phrasing it this way: is there a time when the Republicans have 51 votes in the Senate and the Democrats have 48, or does Strange serve until the moment Jones is sworn in?

Or, as was just quoted again on CNN: Alabama hadn't elected a Democrat in 25 years. The last one was Richard Shelby, and he switched parties after he was elected.

Maybe

Strange continues to serve.

OK, thanks.

This is an absurd stat on both sides. Kudos to the NYT needle for picking up turnout trends way before they were obvious

It will be unreal to watch Bannon continue to be regarded as a mental jujitsu master Alpha Go of politics after he just lost a race in Ala-****ing-Bama. Dude needs to be cast into the dustbin of history. Loser. Sad.

In this recap from The Intercept they highlight the importance of the Roy Moore slavery comments - kinda wild that this was reported in September I think and no one really noticed until recently:

And I hadn't heard this story before about Roy Moore meeting his wife, who he apparently first saw as a 16 year old (!!!) in a ballet recital which is a totally normal place for a single dude in his late 20s/early 30s to be:

Um, Megan Brennan isn't black and the USPS is doing fine?

so uh, how in the world were there Jones +10 and Moore +9 polls?

If by losing billions every year for the last 12 years, yes they are doing quite well.

Buddy Guy still got it after all these years.

Yeah man - and while we're at it make that damn military start paying for itself. What good does the USPS do us anyway?
