I'm glad my fellow Americans have something important to do on Tuesday nights... I sure as $#@! don't.

I can appreciate the Kentucky Derby - I've been twice - and all the trainers, owners, riders, horsies go through, but elections are $#@!ing trash. Really, we need Thunder Dome.

Wouldn't matter.

9:05 a.m. Dec. 12, 2017: Late Monday night, the Alabama Supreme Court stayed the Montgomery County Circuit Court's order earlier that day directing Alabama election officials to preserve digital ballot images during Tuesday's Senate election.

GOP senator calls on Doug Jones to vote with Republicans

"Tonight’s results are clear – the people of Alabama deemed Roy Moore unfit to serve in the US Senate,” said NRSC Chairman Sen. Cory Gardner. “I hope Senator-elect Doug Jones will do the right thing and truly represent Alabama by choosing to vote with the Senate Republican Majority.”

It's Gardner's job to elect Republicans to the Senate. He believed that Moore should be expelled from the Senate if he was elected.

Good luck with that.

Give me a text source.

So I take it that someone can win a Senate seat in Alabama without a majority? Never been fan of plurality elections.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a shady backroom, Mitch McConnell, Bill Kristol, John McCain and Lee Busby celebrate another victory...

Interesting.

[phill4paul]

The 1.7% that voted other than Moore or Jones could have made the difference either way. Interesting election night.

Candidates endorsed by Trump need to give him the finger, early and often!

They lacked intestinal fortitude.

Looked it up. Nope. Wrong.


dallas county - population 41131
selma alabama - population 18963

dallas county votes
10,400
3,400


There were 14K votes in Dallas County. There is a population of 41K in Dallas County. It doesn't seem out of the ordinary, based on that.

Last update I saw on the figures the write in votes were twice as many as the difference between Moore and Jones. I was under the impression that a significant number of those were Republicans who simply could not bring themselves to vote for Moore.

Pyrrhic victory.

Yeah, it was Trump, not the sex thing. Uh huh.

Trump now needs to go after the Pedos hard. The referendum on teenage pussy was a NO.

1) you don't have to have sex with the 14 year old.
2) the charges don't need to be proven.
3) the charges can be 38 years old.

Trump is in charge of the Attorney General's office, and there is a lot that could be happening, after the voters have sent a strong anti-pedo message.

Here's something, less that a week ago, a top Disney executive arrested for pedo with an 11 year old. Trump should start Tweeting about that stuff. Hey media, looks like we got one of your pedos. Disney owns ABC.

Post of the week. If I figure out what it means, I may nominate it for post of the year.

Trump made robo calls and RM still lost?

Bad omen. Which one played bigger role in this GOP defeat, Trump's Israel embassy call or Ivanka's child rights call? Or was it something else like Flynn/Kushner scandals?
Assuming following are not fakenews.

Chris Matthews: Trump Is Moving Capital To Jerusalem For Roy Moore

“And a couple more points about this. Don’t think this isn’t related to Alabama next week. It is related. It is the Christian evangelicals down there with their crazy ideas about Israel, which is, I don’t know, mythical,” Matthews stated.
