Almost.
It's simple logic that splitting the ticket hurts pedo more than it hurts Jones. It depends on how much traction this guy gets though. We will see.
You're going to be one sad little boy on the morning of December 14th when Pedo Roy wins the seat.

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/...-senate-261024Doug Jones and Roy Moore both released new television ads on Monday. But many Alabama voters will see only one of them.
That’s because of the massive disparity in TV ad spending between the two candidates in the Alabama special election to a Senate seat, where Jones, the Democratic candidate, is outspending Moore roughly 7-to-1.
The imbalance is stunning, with just two weeks to go in the campaign: Jones has aired more than 10,000 spots on broadcast TV in Alabama since the primaries, while Moore, the embattled GOP candidate, has run just over 1,000, according to figures compiled by Advertising Analytics.
“I saw probably 40 to 50 Doug Jones ads, and I saw one Roy Moore ad” over the Thanksgiving break, said Daniel Deriso, an aide to Democratic Birmingham Mayor-elect Randall Woodfin.
Fueled by millions of online dollars pouring in to defeat Moore, Jones’ campaign has flooded the airwaves with over $5.6 million of TV ads overall during in the general election campaign. Moore has answered with about $800,000 in ad spending, according to Advertising Analytics.
Jones’ campaign built a big financial advantage even before women came forward accusing Moore of sexual misconduct in early November. He had more cash on hand at the end of the third-quarter Federal Election Commission reporting period — and a new campaign finance report from ActBlue, the widely used Democratic digital fundraising platform, shows Jones raised nearly $2.9 million online in October alone.
But the firestorm that ensued after numerous allegations surfaced against Moore galvanized even more financial support for Jones, giving him the resources to relentlessly pound Moore on-air as a child predator. He’s been able to cast himself as a pragmatic reformer and make a largely unanswered case to the moderate
There’s been little answer from Moore. His numbers have faded in recent polls and, between the flood of ads and the allegations that have surfaced, Fox News’ surveys have shown voters growing more comfortable with Jones — and turning against Moore.
BB can say what he wants but the way things are trending are looking more and more like the last general except with more money lined up against the one on the receiving end of the bombs .
He has to earn that 1/3 million dollar salary somehow.Dude has been melting down on twitter all day trying to launch a counteroffensive. It's a secret video with the a natsec reporter revealing *GASP* the difference between hard news and editorials.
Told you Pedo Roy was going to win. He's back up in the polls now. You had to know that dip was going to be temporary just like Trump's was after his tape admitting to sexual assault.
They're within the margin of error in aggregate and he just got a bump from Trump. We will see but it is hardly the sure thing you keep pandering for. I do like now how polls matter.
Win/win either way for Democrats.
If he wins that is more proof of how out of touch the GOP is, because it is Republican voters that hold his fate in their hands. The narrative that the Republican party puts its own good above that of the country is reinforced.
The obvious moral bankruptcy of the Republican party base will be laid out for all to see, and impossible to deny.
Not the outcome I would prefer though.
I hope that enough people that normally vote Republican will find their conscience, and realize that, yes, a Democrat is better than a child molester.
Do you think Trump is going to quit endorsing Pedo Roy before December 13th? The only way Pedo Roy is losing is if something even nastier comes out 3-4 days before the election. E.g. a victim comes out and says he forcibly raped her at 14 or he knocked up a 13 year-old and made her get an abortion. I figured the Jones bump was only going to be temporary. I expect tribalism to win out just like it did in the presidential election. Like when the right was disgusted by Trump's sexual assault boasts for a few days but then went back home on election day. I can't see this being a repeat of Virginia, which was driven mostly by huge turnout from the left as opposed to depressed turnout from the right. There aren't enough Democrat voters in Alabama to repeat that so their only hope is Republican voters not showing. I don't see it happening when Trump's agenda is on the line in a vote in such a deep red state. If Jones wins that's close to killing Trump's legislative agenda until at least 2019. You think these evangelicals are going to go against Trump just because a few little girls got raped?
The moral bankruptcy of the GOP base is already plain as day with Trump in the White House. A loss is not a win.
AT least you admitted you were wrong in the last round of elections.
I'm not saying you are wrong, BB. What I am saying is that your surety is unfounded.
Yeah its time to give it up.
Jones had a nice run but nothing you can do when you're depending on inbreds to vote for you.
Just add this to the list for 2018 though. There's no way they keep control of congress next year.
Moore's as Christian Sharia promoter to Bible-humping so-called Christian supremacists
In 2008 audio, Roy Moore compares marriage equality to Nazism and pines for sodomy laws
He calls the Supreme Court's decision overturning sodomy laws "terrible" and "devastating.

Roy Moore-backing Alabama pastor lied to cover son’s alleged molestation of orphans
Rev. Bill Atkinson, a pastor who sang for Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore at a recent campaign event,
was convicted of obstructing an investigation into whether his son molested children at an orphanage his family owned in Honduras.
Alabama.com reports that Atkinson in 2012 “was found guilty of obstruction and conspiracy for ordering two of his children to destroy a hard drive of a digital video recorder, which held evidence that incriminated” his son, William James “Will” Atkinson IV, of child molestation.

If the good pastor's son was, is a pedophile, we can assume with some confidence that he learned that behaviour at home, from his parents. Pedophile criminals have often been pedophile victims, and very often within the close family.
Fox viewers freak out after network hypes report of Dems registering felons eligible to vote in Alabama
“A last-minute push by Democrats is happening right now to get as many felons registered to come out and vote on December 12,” Fox breathlessly reported
Republican Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey earlier this year signed a bill that restored the rights of thousands of former felons to vote in the state.
However, Fox viewers nonetheless responded to Fox’s report by claiming that letting felons vote is part of a sinister Democratic plot to steal elections from law-abiding citizens.

Roy Moor's accusers have ties to drug world and the Washington Post who broke the story
BOMBS
It is possible to lose a battle, and win a war.
Pedo Roy becomes a cudgel to beat other Republicans, as he takes the Senate floor. Remember Senators are state-wide offices. You can't gerrymander that , which is why the Senate is harder to rig that way.
those prepper pancakes though
Chris
The senate is effectively pre-gerrymandered to favor the GOP considering states like Wyoming and Alaska have as many votes there as California and New York.
It really doesn't help the Dem case when you start giving them more justification with Conyers, Franken and Laurer. They will see it as "volume" and not in the gravity of the action.You think these evangelicals are going to go against Trump just because a few little girls got raped?
Sadly, we live in the stupid "your side did ________ this many times" partisan society.
Democrats are openly calling on Conyers to resign.
And his lawyer is saying he doesn't plan on it. And Franken went right back to work like an apology makes everything better.
Blackburn: We're Going to Release Names of Lawmakers Who Used 'Hush Fund'
Americans were rightfully outraged when they learned that members of Congress had used taxpayer dollars to pay settlement claims to alleged victims of sexual harassment.
They were even more outraged when they saw the numbers. The secret payouts for harassment claims, of which there have been more than 200, amounted to more than $17 million. There's no telling so far how much of that money went to silence sexual assault accusers.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is seeking to release the names of lawmakers who used this "hush fund." She's a co-sponsor of the Congressional Accountability and Hush Fund Elimination Act, which would require full disclosure of the settlements within 30 days.
Using taxpayer dollars to settle sexual harassment claims against members of Congress is disgusting. We're going to release the names of those who used this hush fund, and these individuals will pay this money back to the American people with interest. https://t.co/Wloe8uw0QT
— Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) November 30, 2017
"Like most of my colleagues, I was completely disgusted to find out about this," Blackburn said.
When claims are presented, she explained, the names are anonymous.
"Let's bring the sunshine in," Blackburn offered. "Let's bring some transparency and accountability."
"These have been personal bailouts," she added. "Let's end this."
It's a bipartisan effort, with Rep. Tulsi Gubbard (D-HI) one of the Democrats on board.
“Enough is enough,” Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, one of the bill’s sponsors, said. “For far too long sexual predators have roamed freely through the halls of Congress -- the people’s house -- while survivors of sexual harassment and assault have essentially been isolated, bullied and shamed into silence.”
In addition to unmasking the lawmakers who used the hush fund, the bipartisan bill will mandate that taxpayers get their money back - "with interest," says Blackburn.
Lawmakers are introducing other pieces of legislation intended to combat a culture of sexual abuse on Capitol Hill. On Wednesday, Congress passed a bill requiring members to participate in anti-harassment training.

You sure about that?
