The really good stuff is probably coming after Thanksgiving.

Doug Jones has ruled the commercial airwaves while Roy Moore gets all the free news coverage nationally.

I really like it this way!

at the rate of 250,000 a day, sez the local news.

That should capture all but the galactically stoopid.

Here's where you're taken from the "Donate" button on Doug Jones campaign website

I love Act Blue. I make monthly donation to my congresswoman Murphy, and my card is on record so I didn't have to fill no forms for Doug Jones.

Made my donation to Jones and left a tip for Act Blue.

I love his front page issues: (From his website)

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.

Better to take the high road while Moore digs his own hole.

On Monday we had an order to install service at a new campaign office for Jones. With a 3-year contract. Someone seems to have a jolt of confidence.

Is this usual for campaign offices, to have multi-year contracts?

And probably afford the full early termination fee.
What I found interesting is the campaign signed up for service the day after the Roy Moore scandal hit. So someone thought it was worth sending some operatives into the field.

(Campaign staffer here).

Typically things shut down on November 15 (assuming a normal November election calendar). That is when (salaried) staff are paid through and typically when leases are up. Utilities (including internet) are shut off when the keys are turned in.

State (and sometimes) county parties maintain a year round HQ and more permanent staff (ie fundraisers) work out of those offices or remotely.

that they have never voted for a Democrat but they are going to vote for Doug this time. there is a blue ground swell building in ALabama..........!

A long record of public service, and he can go into any mall in Alabama. Don't lay it on too thick with your Republican friends, but do urge them to take a hard look at the candidates in elections after this. Democrats move as little as 3% in some areas, and we go from drowning our sorrows on election night to celebrating our victory.

they may be likely to vote blue again in the future.......

In political terms it's still a long way to the election. Roy & Co. are making a play for hearts and minds right now. Jones needs the cash to stay on their heels every day.

Rec'd for keeping the heat on!

you mention:

A West Point graduate that served in Vietnam so he has always been an officer and a gentleman. A man of virtue he is not.

I live in Virginia. We just had our election less than two weeks ago. I hope I can spread the success and the happiness.
