    Let's just cut to the chase, people.

    Beginning in 2018, all ballots for any election in America, from city council to president, will look like this:

    ___ Pro-Life

    ___ Pro-Choice

    Whichever side wins can appoint someone to vote in city hall, the state legislature or Congress on the only issue that matters* ...

    * — except in Idaho, where a second ballot question will ask if we should burn down all national forests to make sure we kill each and every wolf.

    It’s the Globe. You are joking, right?

    I believe owning guns is more important to the people who you'd otherwise put in the Pro-Life category.

    I can't believe "Who Killed JonBenet?" is really still a thing.

    Like the average reader of those publications is like 132 years old. Half of every supermarket tab's stories are about long past events, or how horrible celebrities from the '50s look now to cheer up said readers.

    O.J. didn't waste any time in creating that drug den after he left prison.

    I don't know if McConnel telling him to step aside hurts Moore at all. Probably helps him actually.

    Disagree. The idea that there are enough Breitbart shitheads out there to win general elections (especially when there is not a Clinton on the other side of the ballot) is Chicken Little silliness, in my opinion. Yes, the "Let's burn it all to the ground" coalition is a force in politics, but it's about 32 percent in the U.S. population, and about 40 percent in Alabama. Moore is going to lose unless they pull some dirty tricks and reveal Doug Jones is actually Hillary Clinton's lover.

    I wonder who he (and the rest of them that are now coming around) would believe if moore was still leading the polls?

    Alabama is a solid Republican state, but a lot of them are more traditional Republicans. You hear a lot about the wild eyed Tea Party/Trump idiots, but they are the fringe. It might be a wide fringe, but nowhere near as wide as the flag is.

    Moore won because of three things - because of his pure loyalists, maybe 30%, because Luther Strange got the interim seat by obstructing justice for Gov. Boobgrabber Bentley, and because McConnell's PAC carpetbombed the market with ads to the point that the people outside the state trying to buy the vote pissed a lot of people off. I think number two is what truly turned the election.
