Too bad Brooks didn't drop out but even if this goes to a runoff, it's looking like Strange will lose to the judge.

I thought Roy Moore had a shot at winning this outright (without a run-off) but that is not looking likely now.

Look for the establishment to pull out ALL the stops to defeat Moore in next month's run-off!

You can be absolutely assured that will happen!

Brooks would have been the better Senator.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

   Wouldn't surprise me at all @Bigun if McConnell's NRSC and Trump's endorsement sunk Strange, at least they didn't stoop as low as Mississippi, 2014, racist flyers and all.
   @Hoodat I, too would have liked Mo Brooks better, Conservative and knows the Legislative process, kinda surprised Sen. Cruz didn't back him in this election.

It's not over yet!  They will move heaven and earth to prevent a Moore win!

Absolutely.  A win for Moore is a defeat for McConnell.  We can only hope.

Moore and Strange will compete in a runoff on Sept. 26. The winner of that boondoggle will face a big fat Rat  named Doug Jones,  in the general election on Dec. 12.

Well my 6 immediate family members all voted Roy Moore. But yeah, Mo wasn't a bad fellow to be honest. I call him a 90% whereas Moore is a 99%.

I was surprised how little of the vote in my area was democrat... They got like only 13.5% of the votes compared to 86.5% that voted Republican.

Pictured is my 6 foot son today after his first vote. I am the pretty one with the crown beside him.

Thanks, he is a good kid. I on the other hand go through a lot of mascara and permanent markers to keep up my looks. Really I just hate having a face attached to my internet fake name. Lots of crazy out there and never know who you will tick off.
