Doug Jones is outspending Roy Moore 10-to-1 on the Alabama airwaves

WASHINGTON - Democrat Doug Jones is outspending embattled Republican Roy Moore by nearly 10 to one in Alabama’s closely watched Senate race, but his message on the airwaves over the past three weeks hasn’t completely focused on the sexual misconduct scandal that has enveloped Moore.

According to the ad-tracking group Advertising Analytics LLC, Jones’ campaign has shoveled $5.6 million into television and radio ads during the general election, compared to about $600,000 by Moore’s team. That 10-to-1 advantage for Jones is almost unchanged from two weeks ago.

The outside group Highway 31 has contributed another $512,000 to pro-Jones ads during the general election, while Proven Conservative PAC has backed Moore with about $40,000 in TV spending.

This would be a great subject for a letter to the editor to al.com from a local resident.

Time to retell the story of Thomas More who said, My allegiance to the King, but first my allegiance to God. (My paraphrase) Then King Henry viii beheaded him so he could get a divorce.

If I’m being really honest, the more a candidate “floods the airwaves” with repeated advertisements for himself, the less likely I am to vote for him. I realize that this is something kind of unique to me, but if I get utterly sick of hearing a candidate’s name/voice every ten minutes on the radio, I really am not going to want to have to hear it for the rest of the term.

Current POTUS, Donald J. Trump has destroyed “The money talks and everything else walks credo” when applied to political ads.

Hillary Clinton spent “Billions” of dollars to defeat Trump, while Trump literally spent pennies when compared to what the Clinton spent, and he wiped her out.

Judge Roy Moore with literally no cash, spanked Luther Strange in a runoff, with a ten point margin of victory, even though Mitch McConnell spent millions on political ads, favoring, “loser” Luther Strange.

Judge Roy Moore will do the same to Democrat, Communist, Doug Jones, on Tuesday, December 12, 2017 by once again, a ten percent margin of victory.

And...to the Godless Baby Killer, Doug Jones, “MERRY CHRISTMAS” from those of us that believe in our creator and savior, God Almighty, and his blessed., beloved, son, Jesus Christ!!! We will pray that your soul avoids, Satan, the Devil and eternal “HELL”.

Hillary ran one of the most expensive campaigns in six millennia of human history.

Trump ran one of the cheapest.

And Trump still won.

GOPe et all spent over $30 Million to defeat Moore....

Dems are going all in now... and this weekend the write in spoiler showed up...

They are going all out to destroy him.... Have to really wonder why... By the time this is over, my guess is easily $40-50 Million will be spent to stop Moore.......

The Democrats realize that this would be a watershed moment if Judge Moore loses. The establishment and the Democrats are throwing every possible dirty trick into this contest because it is much more important than even what it appears. If Judge Moore wins, it will signal that we are continuing in a new era in politics.
