[Antonio the Sixth]

Well, wow.

[Kamala]

I am a white woman from Alabama and I am deeply shocked, I stayed at home because I could not vote for Moore, but it hurts my heart that a Democrat wins the state, it really is a nightmare.

You could not vote for Moore, but it simultaneously hurts your heart that his opponent won...

Go away Daniel. You aren't from Alabama.

Is this a definitive IP check, Mod-Woman?

Sic 'em!

I think you meant Derek.

[smoltchanov]

In one word - excellent!. Of course, every "normal" conservative Republican would win this seat, but Republicans managed to nominate the only one, who could (and MUST!) lose, and, thanks God, he did.

[Mr. Smith]

I'm so glad I was wrong, if by 2.6 points.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The next election, the primary for AZ-8, will be on February 27th.

[136or142]

My take on the major party candidates for the Arizona 8th district Special Election from looking at their issue positions on their websites.

Republican
1.Chad Allen, mostly focused on economic issues, economic conservative but offers only platitudes.

2.Brendan Dilley, Idiot Trump type.

3.Stephen Douglas, Moderate Libertarian

4.Debbie Lesko, Idiot Trump type, but not complete idiot as she's not an ideologue and can be more practical.

5.Dave Lien, Moderate Conservative.

6.Phil Lovas, Idiot Trump type

7.Richard Mack, Libertarian Tea Bagger

8.Steve Montenegro, Idiot Trump Type

9.Bob Stump, No Issues Positions, but quotes people calling him a 'thoughtful conservative' and an 'intellectual' and thinks like that.  Biggest issue about him seems to be that he changed his first name to have the same name as a former longtime Arizona Republican member of the U.S House.

10.Chris Sylvester, No specific issue positions, but statement of principles. Seems to be a pragmatic moderate conservative.

11.Clair Van Steenwyk, Loony Conspiracy Type - "Agenda 21" - Issue page seems to be the same as from his 2012 U.S Senate primary run.

12.Mark Yates.  Statement of Principles.  Conservative but supports teaching 'critical thinking' in schools as opposed to 'rote learning.'

My meaningless endorsement - Chris Sylvester


Democrats
1.Hiral Tipirneni, Centrist Democrat

2.Brianna Westbrook, Progressive

My meaningless endorsement - Hiral Tipirneni

[Jeppe]

Hiral Tipernini is the serious candidate, by the way. She’s an ER doctor who has strong fundraising,, compared to Westbrook, a social activist who barely qualified for the ballot.

[KingSweden]

Westbrook is one of those Justice Dems who only has an online following yeah?

Basically. She only got 4 signatures above the required amount, which was only around 600.

Hiral Tiperneni has actually outraised the entire Republican field too, although she’s been in the race since last year too.
