Just takin' a little victory lap here.

[trof]

This ol' Alabama boy is feelin' pretty damn good tonight.
We did GOTV like y'all ain't never seen before.
Phonebanked like a mutha.
I was getting 3-4 calls a day for the last week.
ALL for Doug.
Zer0 for Molester Moore.

"Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill had estimated turnout would be about 25 percent. But more than 1.3 million of Alabama's 3.3 million voters participated for a turnout of 40.4 percent, according to unofficial results from Merrill's office."

A 40% turnout of registered voters has to be some kind of record.

TURNOUT, BABY! TURNOUT!

[True Dough]

1. Remember to take that victory lap

with your PANTS ON, trof! The authorities will put a damper on your celebration otherwise!

6. I will join

but then I will say

WIN WIN for disgusting, constitution and oath violating prick McConnell

He now doesn't have to deal with the criminal moore and doesn't have to seat Jones so they can get their tax bill which is EVERYTHING

[trof]

9. I don't think turtle man gets to skate.

HIS party still ran Moore as their guy.
And HIS prez and HIS RNC eventually backed the guy.
This is an albatross we can hang around their necks for a long time.

[spooky3]

17. And he has one fewer red vote.

[Leghorn21]

7. Ya killed it, trof, ya just killed it!! So many sincere thanks to you!!

[trof]

11. Thanks, but not just me.

We had hundreds, hell, maybe THOUSANDS of volunteers turn out.
My county, Baldwin, the reddest county in the state, went 60-40 for Moore.
They went 80-20 for tRump.
It's still bad, but it's getting better?

[Leghorn21]

36. Hey, some "bad" turning to "better" is a thing of beauty, trof!! - you have proven Preet Bharara

correct, here in his pinned tweet from APRIL!:

[Demsrule86]

18. Congratulations...and I always thought the Doug Jones had a shot. I faced ridicule and was

called naive...but here we are.

[oasis]

19. Turnout! nt

[flamingdem]

20. Good job!

[RandomAccess]

21. I'm pretty sure I heard

3 MILLION phone calls. The other stats zipped by me.

WELL DONE, everyone. And thank you, ALABAMA.

You probably saw this already -- I loved it, and was really, really moved by his last words at the rally:

Liberal Redneck - To Hell with Roy Moore

23. You folks did an excellent job. We are all proud of your efforts. EOM

[iluvtennis]

25. We sould indeed take more time to celebrate our victories vs immediately start on the road

about negative things. Just sayin'

[JNelson6563]

26. A well earned victory lap!

Lots of credit grabbing going on out there. IMO we owe a great debt to those in the trenches. I'm a foot soldier too, spent many elections in the trenches. A thankless but rewarding task (at least when you win!).

So glad your efforts resulted in victory you can savor! Well done by you and the army of volunteers it tool to make this happen!

[denbot]

27. Congratulations to the Great State of Alabama!

The south is forever changed in my mind.

29. So PROUD of my birth state!!!!!

[steve2470]

30. proud of you and all other Democratic voters!!!!!! nt

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Thank you AL

You just made it a bit harder for the GOP to completely destroy the country.

[TexasTowelie]

32. One lap isn't enough--

keep on running until you get a lot of state officials that are Democrats also.

Congratulations.

[joanbarnes]

33. All of us everywhere thank you for your hard work.

[lucca18]

34. Thank You!

I appreciate it so much.

[Awsi Dooger]

35. Well done trof

I always appreciate your posts.

I have to say I did not think that race was winnable. But these days some of the variables are so bizarre I can't always apply traditional methods.

[40RatRod]

38. Kick ass!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! If we could just do this in Georgia! Time for the good old boys who have been around way too long. Will do our best. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

[Initech]

39. Just remember that the battle may be won but the war is far from over..

But like Thor says - every victory must be celebrated with revels!

[Heartstrings]

40. Keep up the resistance......

We're all in this together.....proud of you Alabama!

[japple]

41. Congratulations and THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU from a Georgia neighbor and former

resident of Scottsboro! You folks did an awesome thing getting out the vote. I'm pretty sure a couple of my in-laws in Arab voted for Moore or stayed home, it's so gratifying that you and the Alabama Democratic Party members won the election.

[mobeau69]

43. Congratulations and a big thank you!

[pnwmom]

44. The turnout of black voters might have been closer to 50%, since they are only 23% of registered

voters, yet exit polls said about 30% were black.

[SunSeeker]

45. Thank you for your service to your country!
