Alabama Senate Race Now a 'Toss Up'

November 14, 2017 at 7:58 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Cook Political Report: “It’s hard to know whether Moore can or will win the special election. What we do know is that there is so much uncertainty surrounding the vote that moving the race to the Toss Up is the best way to describe where this race is today.”

He went after the Atlanta bomber and get a conviction for the 16th street church bombings that occurred in the 60's. This man is a hero in my view and I think the people in Alabama would be absolutely insane if they put Roy Moore in office.

They've been literally blessed with a great candidate and they're going to elect a bat shit crazy known pedophile?!

We'll see if Alabama will vote their principles or their prejudice. I know a lot of folks are sensitive to being written off as a bunch of racist, in-bred hicks; here's an opportunity to show the rest of the nation what progress, if any, has been achieved by Alabamans in the last 50 years.

If Democrats get out to vote, including every person of color who can be found, this race should be as big a rout as the Virginia governor's race last week.

Republicans hate women in a very big way, it is why they want to make laws against them having rights to their own bodies.

If you are a woman, republicans want to control you and they WILL kill you if you disobey.
