Despite the fact that you can see the word "Senator" in his name, you can click through and see "Indiana Senator" pretty prominently. And then you can just go wild and google poo poo

The Senate can, but they won't. It doesn't matter because he's going to lose. If even one in ten likely Republican voters chooses not to show up for a pedophile in a special election with nothing else on the ballot, it's over.

1 in 10 dont show up OR write strange in.

it would be extra special if democrats are energised not to have a pedophile represent them in senate

I wonder if they're coordinating this (they clearly seemed to be coordinating the original "if true" language), or if they're all just getting the hell away from this as fast as possible on an individual basis.

probably a mix. the early ones probaly saw what was coming and got the gently caress out. the rest are either bailing or being told to bail.

Yeah but it's not like they need to ask permission to run a write in campaign.

It would kind of help since they need to get every Republican they can on board if its to have any chance of succeeding, including the need to have an actual write in candidate who must be from Alabama. In spite of all the assumptions including by me, Luther Strange still hasn't said hes actually going to try for it.

Oh my god it'll be so lame but also hilarious if it really turns out that the entire time Russia was trying REALLY HARD OVER AND OVER to get the Trump family to conspire directly with them, to the point that they're surrounded by Russians having infiltrated their organization and getting regular voicemails but all they ever really get is blank stares because none of them can quite figure out what is going on or what they should do.

It might split votes with Moore, or the write in might just win. Whether or not vote-splitting occurs, potentially opening up a path for Jones to win, depends I think mostly on how hard Moore continues to push his campaign. If Moore goes full scorched earth, refusing to drop out and actively campaigning against Strange/Sessions/whoever, then I think Jones has a chance. If Moore suspends his campaign or runs more mildly I think the write in would probably win.

they cant afford any split voting. you never get 100% writing in strange or 100% voting moore. the best chance the republicans have is to ignore this and let alabama vote for the (R)

Being right feels good. The defenders in the Russia thread must be moving the goalposts as we speak.

there is likely worse out there. u donts top at stripping a 14 year old to her underwear and making her touch u through your underwear.

right now the foundation is being laid. a week before the election we will have a press release where

1) roy moore had intercourse with 14 year old
2) after he was married
3) recently enough to be charged

In that case, what % of people in Alabama can correctly spell Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III?
