Update from Alabama- The Democratic party is still alive!

I had been really worried about people voting for Kennedy just on name recognition and not getting the Kennedy they thought they were getting, but Doug Jones ran away with it. For 5 minutes, forget the idiot in the Whitehouse and enjoy the fact that we have a real shot at winning a Senate seat.

Jones will most likely be meeting ROY MOORE... but Strange still has a shot at the run off. We are hoping that like some of the reps I know, more will admit that there is no decent choice on the rep ticket and either stay home or vote for Jones.

I was wondering if the Dem has a chance. 1/3 of the GOP might not be willing to vote for either Strange or Moore.
I'm eager to see an upset and have a Democrat grab some Deep South Senate or Governors seat.
Any polling or predictions yet?
