https://www.thenation.com/article/best-way-for-democrats-to-show-their-disgust-with-roy-moore-is-by-going-all-in-for-doug-jones/Should (Democrats) throw everything theyve got into a campaign against Roy Moore? No, they should throw everything theyve got into a campaign for Doug Jones.
The Democratic nominee for the Alabama Senate seat is a strikingly qualified and able contender. A former United States Attorney and onetime staff counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee, he has decades of legal and political experience in Alabama. And Jones has a record of personal accomplishment and moral commitment that stands in stark contrast to Moores dismal story.
The Democrat is best known for his efforts in the late 1990s and early 2000s to finally achieve a measure of justice in the case of the September 15, 1963, Birmingham bombing that left four little girlsAddie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Carol Denise McNairdead in their church. Jones is credited with playing an essential role in winning murder convictions against two of the killers almost 40 years after the bombingand after many other attempts to hold the racists to account had failed. Frequently honored for his work on not just civil-rights cases but also cases involving womens rights, workers rights, and the environment, Jones is hailed by Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist and author Diane McWhorter as bold and aggressive, but also willing to take a risk to be on the right side of history. Should they throw everything theyve got into a campaign against Roy Moore? No, they should throw everything theyve got into a campaign for Doug Jones.

We have an exemplary candidate. We have the better case FOR out candidate. We can win if we run FOR rather than AGAINST. Let's win by winning the argument.
