AWWWYEAAAAAA

I'm predicting a 0.5% Jones victory. Subject to change. On the NYT page and watching CNN's hopeful analysis.

Edit: For f***'s sake I've submitted like 5 times and it always shows up the "Warning - while you were typing 2 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post."

You can turn that feature off in your profile.

Go to the Look and Layout Preferences. Click the box the says "Don't warn on new replies made while posting."

Hell just froze over. Moore's toast. Jones actually won. I've never been happier to have been wrong in my life. I'll happily eat a double platter of crow tonight. There are limits to partisan loyalty.

Before people go predicting a Democratic majority in the Senate next year, know that a lot can happen in 11 months, and this race was a very special case.

Jolly Democrat

I haven't actually made a prediction yet for this race. I predicted the VA 2017 to a tee, so let's see how I do in 48 hours or so. I'm going to predict a narrow 3 point Jones win, but I definitely feel less confident about this than my VA prediction, where I just knew that Dems were going to outperform the polls

 I think the electorate will be different than what pollsters/people are expecting, especially with Republican turnout. I can certainly see a large portion of Republicans waking up on election day and despite supporting Moore, decide not to show up to the polls.

I guessed the VA election and the margin on the dot, and it looks like Alabama is the same story. Go me! Go me! Go me!

Jones advantage keeps decreasing on NYT, com'on fake news!

(how the heck are you supposed to post when every time you hit "post" you get the Warning - new posts kickback?)

You can disable that in your profile settings - I think under on the Layout page.

[ProudModerate2]

Jones is leading !!!!

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

What an absolute disgrace. How stupid are the hicks of Alabama?

[Beet]

So happy to be wrong about this one.
This isn't a repudiation of Trumpism, except insofar as it shows that voters do care about sexual assault/harassment.
It's a testament to the decency of (most of) the people of Alabama.

[JerryArkansas]

HE DID IT

He could still lose this, not celebration yet.

[Person Man]

Looks like Moore came in a little behind...

That's your profile - go to the bottom and change it in the settings.I think the relevant setting to change is on the Layout/Personalization page.

[ProudModerate2]

Looks like a lot of posters have some explaining to do.

Where did they go ?
Why are they not commenting any more ?

[emailking]
