Who will win the Alabama Senate special election?

[aleCcowaN]

"Roy Moore thinks the race could go either way"
"Moore campaign: We'll fight to the bitter end"

Isn't that an admission of defeat?

 

[Stacko]

Anyone want to set an over/under on the number of write ins for Nick Saban?

 

[BobTheCoward]

Do voting results qualify as "unneeded stuff" in an election?

Not by law.

No, I don't think so. I think it is actually just close and nobody knows yet.

I'm gonna take one for the team. Over on Fox, the despicable Tucker Carlson is still fighting against Hillary, but they're running the count across the bottom of the screen. <1% in Jones 55.8%, Moore 43.3%

I heard the exit polls showed Roy Moore hanging in the teens.








I'll see myself out.

Don't forget your coat!

Trump's watching the results from the cattery.

Thank you for your service!

 

[Crossbow]

Is he headed for West Virginia?

Another typical dodge.

Another typical dodge.

If you say so.

But instead of your post consisting of replies to mine, why not focus your attention with something on your own?

 

[kellyb]

Took one for the team, too, to verify. I believe it is almost official. Just did a compare and contrast between CNN and Fox, and yeah, Team Blue is solidly winning so far.

 

[William Parcher]

With less than 4,000 votes in, CNN is showing Jones 61% and Moore 38%.

Meaningless. Large cities always report first and vote Democratic.

I'm taking the Stoic attitude: I fully expect Moore to win. It will be a pleasant surprise if he doesn't, but in all likelihood he will.

Seeing some numbers starting to come in now:

CNN is 100% on the election, Fox is dropping back into Tucker's show, part-and-part so far (he's hosting both. He may be the most sycophantic and insufferable of all their hosts.)

Now that Republicans have made it that *********** children is acceptable if the opponent is a Democrat, I don't see any reason why Moore would lose.

I would hope that this disgusts conservatives, but I've yet to see any evidence of shame on their part.

Why does it shame anyone who thinks they're above the law or above what is considered socially acceptable? Look at all the people who are defending Polanski.

With the current wave of accusations flooding the news, it may continue to be less and less socially acceptable to sexually assault or treat people so poorly in the future.

ETA; as of 5:37 pm PST Moore is way behind. If he continues to do this poorly, I'm certain he'll blame anyone but himself.

I'm allowing for a tiny amount of cautious optimism.

Is Fox betraying that they don't think Moore will win?

T'ain't necessarily true. Unless you have actual data from Alabama, not a safe statement to make. Rural outposts close on time and count their fourteen votes quickly. City polls often have lines out the door at closing time and get around to counting the votes for several hours.

 

[William Parcher]

CNN: With 16,000 votes in Jones is gaining more.

 

[William Parcher]

Now dropping for Jones 53% to 45%.
