And so far there has been nothing from Moore

If this poll is accurate, looks like it's working

I hope he's really begging folks in the southern half of the state to get out and vote. That and B'ham are his best hopes. Obama and Clinton both carried the "Black Belt" and Jefferson Co. Sad to say my home county stays pretty red.

I'm in the North part. The area around Huntsville also is dem I believe. He is keeping the roads hot. I think yesterday or this weekend he was in Florence.
We need to flip republican voters too and I think we are getting some. He needs to work the whole state and we need to gotv locally which we are working on.

Lots of military contractors here, employees tend to lean Repug.

I was wondering whether these ads were local broadcasts ony, or on cable shows. I don't see local news much, so I might have missed them.

I thought they were closer to blue but I'm wrong. Still better than where I live with 88% Trump voters

You're going to believe a Faux News Poll?

Certainly positive news, but I'll believe it when I see it. Can't see the pubs losing in Alabama. When the chips are down, they're going to pull it out. It's AL. And if their victory is in doubt, I'm sure the machines can make up any shortfall.

A southern state.

To begin with the Democratic candidate takes an early lead. We have hope!!

Holds lead for a good while. We might win!!

A week before the election the polls 'tighten'. Uh oh

Then when election happens and people actually vote...The Repub wins by 7 percent.

I seen this one before. A few times.
