Alabama: An extremely close race is now called for Doug Jones (D).
It takes real effort for a Republican to lose Alabama, but doggone it, Roy Moore managed this difficult task.
Doug Jones is no better than Moore and I'm not celebrating.
I think it's a loss over all that the state was stuck with two such horrific candidates, and one of them is going to a US senator for the next two years, impeding any good that the Republicans may try to accomplish. And he's a rabid pro-abortion advocate, so in my view, also a deeply immoral person.
The only good news here is that the GOP is not stuck with the extremely awkward choice of what to do with Roy Moore, and will not have that legacy hanging over its head two years from now.
Let's hope Republicans learn a lesson from this and will nominate people who are not so repulsive that they turn off more than half of their own party in the deepest of deep red states.
