Alabama Megathread 3: Results Thread

[Sestak]

So we had this wonderful thing about Moore that just came out: http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/10/politics/kfile-roy-moore-aroostook-watchmen/index.html

Basically saying to get rid of the amendments after the tenth to 'eliminate many problems', but specifically in that in terms of references of amendments, it was that of both the 14th and the 17th Amendments.

Wait.

The Seventeenth gave the people the power to elect Senators over the state legislatures. Without it, Moore would never have a chance at being one.

Also, he's saying he's SPECIFICALLY AGAINST INCORPORATION. In other words, he thinks states should be able to violate your rights.

Agree with above. RUN ADS IMMEDIATELY.

God dammit. Some Democrats are useless.

Please do not involve yourself in mental gymnastics like that.  It is not becoming. Even the author of the article does not do that.  By distancing from her, he clearly shows he realizes the danger Nelson poses to Jones.

It's becoming clear that you lied about what she claimed or didn't claim at the initial press conference. If you lied about that, what else could you have lied about? Why should we believe your claim that you were assaulted as a teenager when you fudged the truth here?

You may not be able to get everyone who's on the fence about Moore to vote for Jones. As long as you can get them to not vote Moore, that's something of a win.

I'm kinda surprised no one has posted this yet:

Luntz did a focus group consisting entirely of Roy Moore supporters and the results were...let's go with "interesting."  I'm still pretty sure Jones is gonna win, but Jesus F***ing Christ, there are some really sick people out there, to say the least.

There's a lot of scary stuff here and the whole thing is well worth watching, but these stood out to me in particular (each from different voters and for different reasons):

At 2:48: "40 years ago in Alabama, there's a lotta mommas and daddys that'd be thrilled their 14 year-old was gettin' hit on by a district attorney"

At 4:30: "This man [Moore] has more integrity than you can find in the entire Congress right now.  Don't fall for the George Soros assassination plan!" (because what good is a conspiracy theory without anti-Semitism?)

At 6:29 on why African-Americans don't vote Republican: "Well, in my opinion, they be stupid." (I don't know why, but this one also kinda stood out to me for whatever reason, probably the lack of self-awareness)

Now you know why I have no faith in Alabama voters, and why nobody here should either.

Some people are never going to vote for a Democrat. But getting them not to vote for Moore helps Jones.

Like I said, still pretty confident Jones is gonna win.

Doug Jones is very badass. I like to imagine he's a strict yet tender daddy dom.

Molestin' Moore is finished. Back to the malls ye go

[Jeppe]

I think Sue Bell Cobb would've had this race in the bag at this point, too bad she's running for Governor. I think Jones is going to pull off a narrow win due to turnout among Republicans sharply declining.

This won't have much of an impact, but this is truly deplorable.
