Dems looked to have out smarted the GOP again.
Nope. It was a walkover. The progressive corportists in the GOPe threw the race.
“I have ZERO I repeat ZERO respect for ANY Republican who can vote for a baby murderer”
Agree with you.
Add to that, a R who can vote in someone who will not allow Trump to name conservative jurists.
Add to that, a R who can vote in someone who is not only a D, but a far left radical D.
who is “they”?? blacks turned out higher for Jones than for Obama? Interesting.
Roy Moore leads by 7 percentage points over Doug Jones with 62 percent of precincts fully reporting.

Fox polls are always wrong
Moore +47,000 (7.1%) with 62% of the vote in
Rural areas still not coming in much
Moore is up by 50,000 votes with 62% reporting.
For a quick summary that’s excellent!
Moore has good percentages, Jones has good turnout. Too close to call (but it’s only 9:40).
I can definitely hear lynyrd skynyrd warming up now !!!
Jefferson just waiting to dump...
Right,,,,,,and Trump had zero path to 270.........not.
Birmingham
Mobile
Montgomery
Refusing to send out results. Birmingham was reporting out, but frozen now.
The others have something like 3/90 approx reporting.
Birmingham has 63 of 172 reporting.
Wer’e talking about a lot of votes hanging out there.
If Jones wins this race, the dems will go all in on the sexual crap against Trump and the GOPe will join them!
The 90% was prolly based on the outstanding precincts in the Blue regions. Guessing the Dem vote is weaker than expected.
Voter enthusiasm is everything. Trump voters were enthused to vote for Trump. I could feel that momentum. People talked about Trump signs being seen everywhere. I kept seeing reports on Twitter there were Jones signs everywhere. Jones was out campaigning everywhere. Moore went through swaths where he just disappeared.
I am a worrier as well. Living in The People’s Republik of Connecticut has made me a die-hard pessimist.
My understanding is that the counties with the most uncounted ballots are expected to go for Jones. I’ve also heard that some of the counties expected to go for Moore are reporting lower than expected voter turnouts.
Makes total sense. The GOPe was practically begging progressive Republicans not to vote for Moore. And with Hillary not on the ballot you can guess the outcome.
COUNTED SO FAR: 64% ROY MOORE 358,927 53.0% DOUG JONES 308,250 45.5%
Roy has a 47,000 vote lead at the 62% mark.
More than half of Birmingham and almost all of Montgomery are still out.
Rats turned out. I’d be shocked if Moore pulls this out.
