Write-ins will help Jones, big write-in #s is good for us!

 

Not gonna help if moderate Republicans are writing in Luther Strange instead of voting for Jones.  In a state like Alabama, Jones can't rest on write-ins siphoning away Moore's numbers.  Jones NEEDS to capture moderate Republicans.   :giveup: 

I'm talkin' 'bout forever, baby.

Even if Moore wins there is good news behind it all. This years special elections won by Republicans have been at historically low margins. This is looking good for next year.

But that could also be because of th allegations

A friendly moment of advice.  Never start smoking cigarettes. It's a terrible habit and on nights like these, you end up smoking ridiculous amounts. A-YO indeed, I'm literally smokin' em all! 

Now back to your scheduled meltdown.

Moderates will vote for Luther Strange instead of voting for Roy Moore, not instead of voting for Doug Jones

Write-ins siphon votes from Moore, not Jones. These models rely on that assumption, it's a pretty safe one to make. 

 Doug Jones needs moderate Republicans and whites to not vote -- these margins look good at the moment

It could be, but a pattern in this years elections show republican winnings in historically low margins in general.

When I first heard the news about Moore I was like "Oh, well he is over... No way he can win..."
It wasn't long before I realised how wrong I was though :selena: I know I should be "glad" that it's at least close... but... I'm not though... Hopefully Jones pulls through


Here is an interesting thought while we ponder over the results so far and see so many people ready to support a man with multiple accusers (some underage) accusing him of sexual assault.

Lets imagine the shoe was on the other foot.

If your choice was between a Democrat who was:

Pro-Choice
Pro-Universal Healthcare
Pro-Gun Control
Concerned about Climate Change
Supportive of LGBTQ rights
Supportive of BLM/Black America

etc. 

And a Republican who was:

Pro-Life
Anti-Obamacare
Anti-Immigration
Anti-Gun Control
Climate Change Denier
Supportive of anti-LGBTQ legislation
Anti-BLM/ supports policy that disenfranchises African Americans.

etc. 

BUT the Democrat candidate had the same allegations against him as Roy Moore does in this election. Who would you vote for?


I'm Australian, so I'm adjusting things a little to apply to my own country so I can answer - But I think I would either abstain from voting or vote third candidate :selena:
