2. I think Jones could win this
In a perfect storm. If Dems really pull out all of the stops to GOTV, and get a percentage of moderate republicans, and disgruntled Strange voters staying home, they could pull this out.
Or am I pipe dreaming?
You're definitely crack pipe dreaming, Kevin.
Your Democrat candidate is on record, as of just a couple of weeks ago, saying that abortion should literally be permissible up to and through labor, and that he would fight to make that law nation-wide. That's an absolute kiss of death in Alabama. Even the relatively few people who consider themselves liberals there would stand for that. He may as well have said that he was going to outlaw SEC football.
Roy Moore is a hero in Alabama. Remember: this is the guy that the atheist Left got kicked off of the Alabama supreme court, and he came back the next time around and won re-election by a bigger margin than he had won previously. Frankly, he doesn't even have to campaign at this point. The race is already over.
But, maybe Will Pitt can promise DUmmies that he'll "deliver Alabama for the Senate" like he did back in '04, promising that Alabama would go for Kerry.
