This isn't surprising. He will win the GOP nomination.

Also not surprising...Alabama's educated will continue to vote with their feet and leave the state in massive numbers.

What Alabama will be left with are: crummy 'last century' jobs, industrial jobs that the state pays for, and low end service sector jobs. Also, watch Alabama's wealthy class continue to export the capital out of state too.

Alabama....the West Virginia of the 21st Century. In 20 years, all the steel and coal based white collar jobs will be gone, Regions will be gone, BBVA will have shipped those banking jobs back to Houston, etc. And then where will Alabama's college graduates work? Not in Alabama.

BTW, there's no difference between Luther Strange and Roy Moore on any issue. I'd rather have the clown.

I love it!

I think this is going to be a close one on election day and Moore's victory is nowhere near assured.

The I-65 corridor is where the votes are and Moore struggles in a lot of those places. Brooks carried the Huntsville area and I think Moore is going to struggle to pick those voters off. Strange carried Jefferson, Shelby, and Baldwin counties. Moore won Montgomery and Mobile counties only by a combined 1,450 votes.

This should make for a run runoff.

Thanks for motivating me to vote. You are a patriot.

I'm familiar with Roy. He was doing the "GOP family" circuit when I was doing Ron Paul stuff.

Roy is the living personification of the two biggest internal problems with the GOP: Not serious enough on economics, excessively serious on losing social issues.

There aren't really any good candidates from either party, all goofing aside.

The only reason Roy was removed is because he didn't fit the mold of the Republican whores that are focused on crushing the right to sue.

Charlotte could eventually be a landing spot for regions should they ever decide to move. They've been making s lot of moves in Charlotte.

They bought my friends investment banking firm a couple years back and they just recently paid to have their name on one of the new towers in downtown.

I'm not much of a Moore guy, but I've gotta agree with you on that one.

I don't necessarily see the big picture that way.

To me, the GOP has abandoned the "social issue" stance. They may give things lip service but they don't follow through.

But you're exactly right about their recent performance regarding economic issues.

LOL. So what's your plan for Alabama's economic future?

You've already tried tax cuts, giveaways to companies to bribe them into hiring our workers, a gutting of consumer protections, a gutting of our environmental protections, the complete abrogation of the ability to sue any business for any significant amount, and a quadrupling down on the 'culture' argument that excludes anyone from participation if they aren't white, cisgendered, straight, American born, English speaking, and evangelical Christian (certain exceptions might be provided for those individual minorities that support the primacy of white/straight/evangelical culture).

Alabama is a century behind the times. They're investing in industries and policies that would have won them the 1920's, not the 2020s.

Enjoy Roy Moore as the representative of Alabama to the world. Don't wonder why your kids leave the second they get their college degree.

did you ever think that AL has plenty of thoroughbreds and you were the gelding???

@poundcake

When it comes to Moore a lot of people only consider the religious and social issue stuff. Granted, I think Moore likes it that way. However, when those issues are removed, I think a lot of people find themselves agreeing with him. I've read a few of his opinions from when he was still in the supreme court and I find myself agreeing with him most of the time.

I live in Tennessee. I'll let Alabama handle their own issues.

Issues which, if you want to be factual, are rooted in 136 years of Democratic governing.

Beginning in 2010, Republicans took control of both the Alabama House and Senate. Democrats had the majority dating back to 1874.

The GOP has had legislative control of Alabama for 7 years.

Democrats - 136 years of control
Republicans - 7 years of control

Republicans claim majority in Alabama House and Senate for 1st time in 136 years

Painting a picture of Alabama's woes and trying to blame the totality on Republicans is either due to ignorance or outright dishonesty.


And let it be know... Republican control of various Southern state legislatures all follow this same pattern: i.e. Democratic control for over 120 years after the civil war until the 21st century.

There may be an exception here or there, but I haven't found it yet.

Its really the same people. Todays Republicans are the same people that have run Alabama into a ditch for the last 100 years. They just changed the label.
