After he loses he will get Ossoff'ed. If the Democrats had nominated a (white male) populist for the seat, was the only way they were ever going to have a chance.
That's the issue that a lot of people don't understand about elections in the South. Had the Democratic Party nominated an Alabama-style Democrat, this election would've been in the bag. Why aren't we pursuing the 50-state strategy again?
Doug Jones is an extremely strong candidate (besides his abortion stance; a pro-life Doug Jones would do 1.5-2% better). He's been working harder than I've seen any democrat work in a long time.
Let's be real: Alabama isn't voting for a democrat because they won't ever vote for a democrat. I live 10 minutes away from Alabama - I know these folks. They don't even mention "abortion" when they talk about what they don't like about Jones - they mention all this random "crime, immigration, etc". They would say that about every single democrat.
