A political miracle in a most improbable place-Alabama cannot be be underestimated. I am simply overjoyed.

I’m well pleased, but not too hopeful that this will signal further wins. Unfortunately there is still a long, uphill battle.

Thanks John! I’m not as optimistic as you, though, about it being a beginning. Gonna be a long, uphill battle, and there are bad guys at the top rolling rocks down the sides of the hill. Big rocks. Sigh.

No doubt you’re correct but the signs in November and now in Alabama are positive – something to build on, Jill.

Jill, I like the comment made by retiring Republican Senator Jeff Flake who said “Decency won.” Moore’s proponents said what a good man he is, but when I think of Moore, I think of the words bigotry, unlawfulness and pedophila. The middle word gets overlooked as he was fired twice for disobeying the law. Judges and senators must follow the law, as we all should. Keith

I agree, and it amazes me that nobody seems to care that he was thrown off the judicial bench TWICE for failing to uphold the law that he was sworn to uphold. What, is this the old West, where the lawmen take the law into their own hands, make their own rules as it suits them? Enter Jesse James?

A near-run thing, but a win nonetheless.
Last I read Moore was refusing to concede (He will have to seek solace from his Barbie Dolls) and no doubt the Alt Right will be squeaking up ‘Conspiracies ‘ and digging up their ‘Protocols of Zion’ for proof.
In the meantime…..Tough! Democracy has spoken.
And Mr Jones won by a majority of votes, unless the flabmiester cluttering up the Whitehouse.

Me either, but listen to this … he said he wanted it passed by Christmas so that it would be a Christmas present for the American people!!!

It didn’t look like he would until about the last half-hour. It was way too close for comfort! Let us hope that this is, indeed, a preview, but I am only cautiously optimistic. There are still many hurdles.
