This might be the most surprising tidbit of this whole saga: Kristol predicted something right for once.

Ouch

Ronna has been an absolute dumpster fire as RNC chair. She's sh**t at campaigning and organizing.

[Kamala]

Alabama has more Democratic senators than Iowa. Let that sink in!

[AtorBoltox]

Where are Greedo and Arkansas Yankee?

[The Dowager Mod]

I read somewhere that Nick Saban will come in third from write ins.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

The PredictIt trolls had a meltdown and it was glorious.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I don't believe I've ever been so happy to have been wrong about politics.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I WAS WRONG WOOHOO!!!

LMAO.
Sh*t is on the GOP's face for actually jumping back-in and supporting this child molester.
"Disgusting." (I put that word in quotes just for you Fuzzy).

There is no reason to EVER run a pro-life Dem again.

And English Pete!

Mobile Finished up - Now waiting on 25 Precincts from Jefferson. NYT suspects will push Jones to 1%, but is it drops his margin, we could be in recount territory.

I'm really scared about a potential recount.

I wouldn't go that far. This election became a referendum on Moore's fitness for office. We won't get so lucky in every race to have our candidate escape scrutiny.

[Badger]

The CNN hacks are speaking of this race as a referendum on Trump .... Yes, Trump "endorsed" Moore, but he hardly put the full prestige of the White House behind Moore.  

.... (Indeed, Bannon is the 2nd biggest loser tonight, behind Moore.)

If Trump has half a brain, he'll meet with Jones and discuss common ground.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

1. This is a BIG middle-finger to trump! Yuge!
2. trump is the 2nd biggest loser tonight, Bannon is 3rd.
3. LOL at you thinking that "trump has half a brain." He just recently tweeted to another Senator suggesting that she should be "begging" (trump put that in quotes), which was a sexist smear to women, and you think that trump can activate "half a brain?"  Who are you kidding ?

IMHO,

1) Wrong. Enough Trump voters swallowed their distaste of voting Democratic (even a good one like Jones) out of revulsion for Moore. If Jones had done anything CLOSE to making this a referendum on Trump, we'd be bemoaning Senator-elect Moore.
2) Irrelevant. They all lost big time.
3) Absolutely on track.

Over 22,000 write in votes.  Don’t get too cocky.  The alleged “Pedophile” almost won.

But he didn't, and that's what matters.

Moore speaking now

Recount won't happen. Jones has an 0.8% lead (0.3% away from a recount) with 16 precincts remaining in Jefferson County (Birmingham and environs). I have a really hard time seeing his margin go down, let alone down by 0.3%.

[Wisconsin+17]

Recount baby. Still TCTC and we won't finish the night before we know the results.

Surprised by the swing though. Only the second time it's swung that much over that much over the course of the night. It's unusual. Usually ballots over 70 percent of the electorate won't swing more than 3 percent. Tonight it did.

I'll have to check my bounds. See if it's better with 3/x vs 2/x. Not sure. Anyways, NYT saying it was Jones +10 was crazy sauce. I was right about Jones being under 50, though.

Now 99% counted.
Left are a handful of precincts around Birmingham, which is "more" votes for Jones.
He currently leads by 1.1 margin

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Moore camp calling for recount. Think the military vote will put them over lmfao! Jones is leading by 19K

[Arkansas Yankee]

Iowa does not have a black belt.

[Bojack Horseman]

This isn't going to a recount and it's not going to change. You lost, period.
