A gut-check moment for Alabama voters in U.S. Senate race

[Dulcinea]

HEFLIN, Ala. —
Sonny Martin was asked what it would mean to Alabama Republicans like him if Roy Moore lost Tuesday’s special election for the U.S. Senate. He barely hesitated.

“It would be devastating,” said the pawnshop manager in downtown Heflin. “If Republicans can’t win this race, then they have some real big things to worry about.”

When Alabama voters head to the polls Tuesday to decide between Moore and Democrat Doug Jones, they’ll be facing a gut-check decision that’s being scrutinized across the nation.

No Democrat has won election to the U.S. Senate in Alabama in a quarter-century, but allegations that Moore pursued sexual relationships with teenage girls when he was in his 30s have rocked the race. Moore has denied them and cast them as attempts by outside forces to sway the race.

2. Awwww, I really have more confidence in the Republican Party in the south than Sonny.

The one thing that time has proved to me is that the south can always go even more crazy. Think Louie Gohmert.

That is one ding dang crazy gizzard who belongs is some movie western of days gone by along with his crusty pal Roy Moore and his funny tiny hat and pistol.
