God, I bet CNN hates to report this. I wonder if any of their anchors will cry onscreen tonight if Moore wins:

Quote:

KEY RACE ALERT: Roy Moore maintains slight lead with 12% of the vote in

Republican Roy Moore has maintained his lead over over Democrat Doug Jones. It's at 50.4% for Moore and 48.4% for Jones. Keep in mind this is still very early, and there are a lot of votes to still be counted.

Moore is ahead by 4,118 votes.

@layman,

****, now thing really seem to have gone south for the cheese-eaters, eh?

Quote:

Roy Moore leads by 5 percentage points over Doug Jones with 46 percent of precincts fully reporting.

Undaunted, in it's estimate of final votes, the NYT still gives Jones a 90% chance of winning.

@layman,

Now it's:

Quote:

Roy Moore leads by 7 percentage points over Doug Jones with 56 percent of precincts fully reporting.

Not to worry though, the NYT still gives Jones a 72% chance of winning.

Further update: Things apparently still heading south. "If we had to guess, we’d give the advantage to Mr. Jones, but the race is close."

Next update:

Quote:

Roy Moore leads by 8 percentage points over Doug Jones with 65 percent of precincts fully reporting.

Fear not, NYT still predicting a Jones win.

NBC doesn't seem quite so optimistic, but they are still claiming a "moral victory" for Jones, at least:

Quote:

Alabama Senate race too close to call with over half the vote counted

With just over 50 percent of the vote in, Moore had a narrow 52-46 percent lead over Jones, though some of the state's most populous counties have yet to report full returns.

It's a strong early showing for the Democrat in a deep-red state.

@layman,

Are you getting NYT updates via Breitbart, Drudge or one of those other white supremacist propaganda sites??? I checked NYT and as of 5 minutes ago Moore was leading. I really don't think anyone will be surprised if Moore wins. If that happens, it will shine a great big spotlight on Alabama and the kind of people they support and choose to send to Washington. Alabama rubes embraced an outsider (Bannon) who urged them to not let the smarty pants other 49 states to tell them what to do. This works out just fine for me, now the entire US and the rest of the world knows what Alabama family values are truly about.

@glitterbag,

glitter, Bannon's not just an outsider, he's an neo nazi, white supremacist, bigotted, misogynistic outsider.

Different sites are showing different results, it seems. That last NYT report (Jones wins) was with 91% of precincts reporting.

This one is supposedly with 92% reporting"

@BillW,

Bannon is an unwashed asshole who will probably die of a stroke once his heart can no long pump the poison that flows thru his stingy veins.

@glitterbag,

Cradle Robbin Roy don't really care. This will give him more time to hunt down teenage tail, see?

And he can raise a few million to do it with by soliciting funds to demand a recount, ya know?

Lolita Island, here comes Roy!

This just in...

Para-military militia groups from the Hill Country of Alabama are now marching on Birmingham, Mobile, and other cheese-eating strongholds with assault rifles, grenades, tanks, and pitchforks. They have been heard screaming: "NOT MY SENATOR!"

@layman,

I don’t think it’s over despite all the cheerfulness at Jones HQs. Moore hasn’t conceded, and it’s going to be close so he will want a recount. But you can paint any picture of depravity you are familiar with. Go ahead skippy, live it up in your best ‘good times’ dialect. No skin off my nose, but you will feel better about yo self, hear.

@glitterbag,

and, Bannon looses again. Jones beats Moore - good over evil, pedophiles loose! tRump is a big fat (literally) looser!

Well, that don't mean he hasn't been completely objective, eh?

'F TRUMP': Texts between ex-Mueller team members emerge, calling Trump 'loathsome human,' 'an idiot'

Text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in 2016 that have been obtained by Fox News refer to then-candidate Donald Trump as a "loathsome human" and "an idiot."

after Trump took a commanding lead in the Republican delegate race with victories in key "Super Tuesday" primaries, Page texted Strzok, "I can not believe Donald Trump is likely to be an actual, serious candidate for president."

Four months later, Strzok and Page exchanged messages mocking Trump and his family at the Republican National Convention.

"Oooh, TURN IT ON, TURN IT ON!!! THE DO*CHEBAGS ARE ABOUT TO COME OUT," Strzok texted Page on July 19. "You can tell by the excitable clapping.

"Jesus. You should read this. And Trump should go f himself," Page wrote in a message attached to the article.

"God that’s a great article," Strzok answered. "Thanks for sharing. And F TRUMP."

Strzok briefed the committee on Dec. 5, 2016, sources said. But within months of that session House Intelligence Committee investigators were contacted by an informant suggesting that there was “documentary evidence” that Strzok was purportedly obstructing the House probe into the dossier.

Strzok also oversaw the bureau’s interviews with ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn – who pleaded guilty Friday to lying to FBI investigators in the Russia probe.

In the context of recent history neither is of much significance except to dedicated students 0f such commentary.

Given your earlier statement regarding lack of knowledge of these two things/people, I don't know that you are well placed to make that claim, george. But in any case, I'm fond of you and Finn.

Landslide Lyndon Johnson learned a lesson that he never forgot in his first (losing) Texas campaign, to wit:

Don't EVER be the first candidate to report that *all* of your votes have been counted. I guess Moore's supporters never learned that one.
