NYT calls it for Jones.

Well, the people of Alabama have spoken.

And rather stupidly. I guess they didnt care that congress going to the dems  in 2018 will be a disaster.

Congratulations to Mitch McConnell.  You pulled it out.

That's the worst part of all, the Con helped the Dim win.

It sounds like the turnout was low for Moore, if I'm seeing correctly....

Will be interesting to see how this effects the tax  bill in the senate. Will they get scared and  not  pass it, or water it down even more to be meaningless. Jones is imediately seated since it a special election so now dems just need to flip 2 rep votes and that  is very  possible.

And the left was unusually high, I expect a recount.

It's for the best

If Moore won he was damaged goods. No matter if he is innocent. Enough GOP senators said they didn't want him so he really couldn't be very effective in congress. If he won Franken would not leave. The dam is about to break on all the predators in congress. If most of them are democrats it would be hard for republicans to justify calling for their resignation with Moore in the senate. Guilty or not he would be a PR nightmare. If the GOP puts up a good candidate Jones will be a out after one term.

I think the recount happens only if it's under .5%...

Matches perfectly the one around Doug Jones ass.

I dont agree its for the best. Going from 52-51 isnt best at all. Jones is  up for election in 2020 and until then if  im Schumer i would instruct Jones to vote in such a way until then that he can be re-elected. Dont look for  Jones to vote hard left the next  2 years.
