Crashing in Alabama

[struggle4progress]

By Benjamin Hart

... On Friday .. Gravis Marketing .. showed Jones with a five-point lead, 47 to 42, a seven-point swing from .. November 10, one day after the story broke ... Fox News .. on Thursday .. showed Jones with a remarkable eight-point lead ... And a National Republican Senatorial Committee taken Sunday and Monday had Jones up by .. 12 ...

... Moore was never particularly popular among Alabama’s general population ... Even before the allegations came out, he was only a few points ahead ... Republican voters have fled .. in droves. If a Democrat ascends to high office in Alabama in 2017, it is squarely his fault.

1. For many in the state who'd like to turn the

Bad state image around... Moore can not be successful and win

2. What they need is a conservative with a heart - and brain. And that would be Doug Jones.

No one's ever accused ol' Roy of having either.

3. Well, I just sent Jones $10 because I liked his platform:

I believe the United States of America is a land of laws, justice, freedom, equality, and opportunity.

I’ll take those values to the U.S. Senate and work hard for all the people of Alabama:

Everyone has the right to quality, affordable health care.
We must restore Alabama’s trust for its elected leaders.
I will defend a woman’s right to choose and stand with Planned Parenthood.
All children deserve a first-class education regardless of where they live.
College must be affordable without burdening a student with overwhelming debt.
I believe in science and will work to slow or reverse the impact of climate change.
It is past time we raise the minimum wage to a livable wage.
Women must be paid an equal wage for equal work at all levels.
Voter suppression is unAmerican – we must protect voting rights.
Discrimination cannot be tolerated or protected. America is best when it builds on diversity and is welcoming of the contributions of all.
