One of Alabamas most powerful Republicans said Tuesday that the state GOP should pull its nomination of Senate candidate Roy Moore.
If they pull him then they have another candidate. I said Id like to see another candidate, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) told TPM when pressed on whether the state party should un-endorse Moore and back a write-in candidate.
Thats a step farther than Shelby had previously been willing to go. On Monday hed told TPM it was a decision for state steering committee, which plans to meet later this week to determine Moores fate.
The 21-member committee of local Republicans is the only group with any real power to kill Moores campaign. According to state law, its too late to pull Moore off the ballot, but if the state GOP withdraws its endorsement that disqualifies any votes for him and would let the party rally around a write-in.

(50,562 posts)There's an old phrase in the South: "Ya dance with the one whut brung ya."
Most young Southerners wouldn't know what the Hayul that means, but we do. They picked Moore fair and square. They're stuck with the bastard.
