It would be better if most races were all over the place in the polling. We don't need to know with 95% reliability what the results will be. Let people show up and vote and count the votes.

oh i was making an absurdist caricature of the point you were making. do we agree that a person who thinks those things is bad? or did my joke unintentionally describe on your actual real life beliefs?

I think there were enough people who didn't want to actually admit they were voting for Moore in live polling + enough (let's face it, black) people showing up and bama goes "lol you can't vote" to surprise them to get Moore over even if jones slightly ahead polls were accurate.

A Jones +10 and a Moore +9 poll at the same time is unreal though.

i could care less who is a senator from alabama. but i just skimmed over 20 pages of this thread and have no idea what a doug jones is. there were no photos, only 1 post that said he was a prosecutor who got 3 kkk members. if u think about it this is the way trump won. maybe u did not like him but u could see him on morning joe everyday, cnn every afternoon, and fox every night. seeing who u vote for helps out all the old white folks. just sayin

When one side is a pedophile who thinks being gay should be a crime and muslims shouldn't be allowed in public office, nobody is going to give a **** about what the other guy says. Does everybody wish Doug Jones was more charismatic and outlining more policy issues that helped more people? Sure! Would that matter this time? Probably not.

Given that there is a 20 point difference in the election eve polls, I see my prediction that the polling would be inaccurate to +/- 10 points was itself accurate.

Simple model open to criticism but I have Dems 8.6% to take the Senate in midterms if Jones loses tomorrow, 24% if he wins. Dems picking up exactly 2 Senate seats in midterms is one of the more likely outcomes.

I was having an argument with someone the other day about bitcoin and gold. Once he started losing the argument he started citing his job in risk management and two masters degrees. Clearly more "educated" than me in the university sense but not educated in constitutional economics of which made this country great.

This has to be a bit

The Russian bots are pushing Moore; I don't think it's gonna matter on this one though. I mean who the **** could possibly be on the fence about that guy long before this point.

Moore's wife nearing racist bingo today with both "we have a black friend" and "our lawyer is a Jew."

She really said, "one of our lawyers is a Jew."

Just your average populist, shouting out to the elite schools he got into over the local university.

I was already pretty excited about these GOP dip****s putting themselves on the record for this turdbag, but the possibility that they stick their necks out and get nothing to show for it would be unbelievably delicious
