As a former resident of Mobile, AL, I am so happy to see the people of Alabama give Roy Moore the kick in the ass he soooo deserves. It has restored my faith that these people can think and reject tRumps demand that they get out and vote for Moore.
Its a good night in Alabama! Wahoo! Doug Jones, Thank you for your hard work to win!

I was glued to the TV last night, and had tears in my eyes.
THANK you, Alabama!
Thanks in particular to all those who knocked on doors, drove people to the polls, and made calls. You are all heroes!
Thanks to the African Americans who came out in unprecedented numbers for an off-year race.
Thanks to the women, black and white, who gave Jones 56% support. Thanks to the white women, many of whom are Republicans, for realizing that pedophilia and sexual assault of young girls are unacceptable.
Have I left anyone out? Oh yeah.
Thank you, Doug Jones, for being a great candidate. You've proved that we can win in the South. 50-state strategy...LET'S GO!
