[Ebsy]

Pretty obvious that it will be Strange and Moore, and Moore will win the runoff.

[DrScholl]

What's colbert county doing on the dem side?

That candidate is a minister in Florence.

Florence is the county seat of Lauderdale County immediately to the north of Colbert County.

Florence is incredibly close to the county line, so it is a fairly general area. Checking maps is a good thing to do.

Well, Stranger things have happened.

[Nyvin]

It kind of looks like Brooks is taking Strange's Huntsville vote in just the perfect way that could deny him a runoff possibly.

[Xing]

I want to watch what happens in Jefferson county before making any run-off predictions. Strange could get a big boost from there.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Decision Desk HQ projects Jones will win the Dem nomination.

Does Jones have at least a slight hint of a prayer?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Does Jones have at least a slight hint of a prayer?

Only if Moore wins the runoff. It's certainly good that he has the democratic party united behind him, but that's not enough on its own.

Maybe if Strange wins the runoff, but I doubt it will happen.

Moore is objectively the weaker GE candidate.

I think the best case scenario for him is a KS-04 redux.

[Roronoa D. Law]

Wow black voters are really pro establishment.

A bit of, you know, money could make a difference this time.

Congressman Ossoff agrees

Waiting on the rest of Huntsville for spot #2.

[Anna Komnene]

I wonder if the national GOP will sink a bunch of cash into the runoff to try to save Strange or just drop him like its hot.

[Pandaguineapig]

Moore probably bests strange in the runoff 55-45

[Matty]

Why are people assuming brooks and all the other voters wil switch to Moore in runoff?

[Canis]

wow the polls were way off on the democratic side Go Jones hes in the lead in every county except 2

[_]

Why are people assuming brooks and all the other voters wil switch to Moore in runoff?

People who vote for Brooks and the others would tend to be disgusted with Establishment candidates or more Libertarian leaning, I think they'd rather vote for Moore than someone as corrupt and bland as Strange.

I hope not(this seat is safe, even with moore) and the money is better spent attacking Mccaskill and Donnelly rather than Roy Moore
