I am saddened because I was going to enjoy seeing Mitch deal with the Republican poster boy molester

Good news but I was kinda looking forward to watching Roy gallop around on Sassy and shoot his six-gun off into the air.

The scary part of this was that Moore got even on vote.

Mr. Jones
Put a wiggle in your stride
Mr. Jones is back in town
It's his lucky day
Hold up your hands and shout
Jones is on his way
edit: Jody, you're cracking me up!
re-edit: dude? you bailed?

Woohoo! A good night for America & a bad night for Steve Bannon & D Trump.
I need to start thinking better of Alabama.

Repubs are asking Jones to vote with them. Fantasy land.

I have family in Huntsville, Alabama and this 'race' was a huge issue (not among us, rather with the culture of Alabama) as the family is originally from Seattle (Boeing space program). My brother didn't want to even talk about it a month ago, thinking that might skew the results. When I saw Jones had won I called down south; huge relief that Moore lost. Thanks to all the voters who turned out, as it seems turnout was the key. Maybe the tide has turned. Sure hope so.

Goodnight Roy . . . hopefully you will spiral down the swamp drain like a good little scum bit.
Let's hope Mr. Jones fulfills his constituency's expectations.

From Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-alabama/democrat-jones-wins-u-s-senate-seat-in-alabama-in-blow-to-trump-idUSKBN1E616L
In Gadsden, Alabama, Louis Loveman, 73, a retired librarian and self-described lifelong Republican, said he voted for Jones. “It’s simple,” he said. “I don’t trust Roy Moore.”
“There are too many allegations floating out there for there not to be fire behind all that smoke. I never voted for a Democrat before, but I did today,” Loveman said
You just have to enjoy that Moore (& Bannon & Trump) drove a 73 year old Republican to vote for a Democrat.

Per the demographics, white people in Alabama revealed themselves to be just as stupid as all the stereotypes about them...
Ninety-eight percent of black women voted for Jones, while 63 percent of white women voted for Moore. About 31 percent of white voters overall chose Jones.
Thank God for Black people who brought it.

I was surprised.
And pleased. I find it ironic that in Alabama, a white man was elected by the overwhelming vote of black people.
The state is coming of age.
There will be many people there who have never had a dem senator in memory. Jones now has the chance to open some eyes, as DMT says by being conciliatory, as opposed to declaring war on Repubs. Trump will undoubtedly help him out.
