We need to step up our Alabama GOTV effort - Senatorial bid looms

He Beat the KKK. Can He Convince Alabama to Reject Bigotry Again?

<snip>

Moore has led in most polls, but his extremism is a vulnerability. In 2012, he eked out his second election to the state Supreme Court by a 4-point margin against an unknown Democratic opponent who had entered less than three months before the election. “Roy Moore is really vulnerable,” says Wayne Flynt, an emeritus professor of history at Auburn University. “Roy Moore is a kook, and Alabamians generally consider him to be a kook.” The latest poll of the race, from Fox News last week, showed Jones and Moore tied at 42 percent apiece, but with Moore’s backers more hesitant about their choice.

Hey, any of you DU'ers in and or around Alabama.

FLIP
THAT
SEAT for democrat Doug Jones!

If Roy Moore is running any, they must be on Fox News (why I never see his).

So far, it looks like they are both going low-key right now, and keeping their powder dry.

I saw Nancy Worley on a news show here in Montgomery, but she did not seem all that excited about Jones. More about will Democrats ever come back.

Her Alabama Democrats website looks as fired up as ever.
