    Fox News Poll: Roy Moore, Doug Jones neck-and-neck in Alabama Senate race

    I don't think it will end this way. Alabama GOP will find a way to close precincts in black areas of Birmingham if necessary. But it is pretty hilarious that the Republican voters have hoisted as their nominee a candidate who has to struggle -- even a little -- to put away his Dem challenger.

    How did you spend your time yesterday? Sean Spicer spent his meeting with prosecutors on Robert Mueller's staff.

    Random English people are much more intelligent and articulate than random Americans

    Beware, this is probably screwed up polling, with folks not admitting who they are going to actually vote for out of embarrassment.

    It's not THAT far out of line with the other polls showing Moore up by eight. The most common lie people give pollsters is "sure, I'm gonna vote." The second-most common is saying they're undecided when they're really not, because they think that makes them sound judicious.

    Obama was in the middle of an Asian G-20 trip when Kelly's son was killed. So - it wasn't like he was out golfing instead of making phone calls. If - he didn't make phone calls. (Obviously you can reach anyone on AF1..but the point stands)

    I'm not really in the mood for more moral victories.

    "Some people are saying" this all stems, shocker, from a 2011 Fox News "report," in which the parents of a KIA soldier said they requested a call from Obama and were told no.

    Rick, if you are competitive everywhere, there will be close losses along the way. Part of the deal.

    Not “weren’t even soldiers”.

    Just weren’t soldiers. Not to work @Dick Whitman’s conner, but if you’re going to reference Benghazi, you (meaning the guy who’s tweet you posted) should be familiar enough with the even to know who was killed, and what they do for a living.
