Time running out for Strange in Alabama Senate race
Time is running out for Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.), who has just one month to save his Senate term and pull off a come-from-behind victory against former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore in the race for the Republican nomination to finish out the Senate term of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The two sides have been in a relative stalemate since the Aug. 15 GOP primary, when Moore’s failure to secure a majority of the vote sent him to a Sept. 26 runoff with second-place finisher Strange. Now the race is about to heat back up, with the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) beginning a $3 million ad campaign this week supporting Strange.
The incumbent needs the help from the super PAC, which is aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). While Moore rode to the runoff relatively unscathed, Strange only secured the second spot after an ugly intraparty fight that seems to have bruised his image. And while President Trump’s endorsement gave Strange a boost in that first round, the president hasn’t campaigned hard for Strange ahead of the runoff.
Recent major swings in polling on the race underscore the unpredictable nature of a special election runoff, with few voters expected to turn out. Two polls from last week showed Moore holding a double-digit lead over Strange. But two more recent polls, including an internal SLF poll, found Moore’s lead down to the low single digits.

Anyone surprised that a member of the American Taliban is leading in Alabama?

TV commercials, ads and facts will be meaningless in the face of "God's Chosen Representatives on Earth."
Turnout is expected to be UNDER the 18% turnout in Alabama for the primary.
This means "true believer" voters can win the day.
Plus, in an open primary runoff, where a large, large number of Democrats sat out, they might be persuaded to turnout for the "worst possible Republican" to face OUR Democrat in December. That's the rules, right, Electoral College and Independent candidates who declare themselves Democrats for political expediency?
