A Democrat pulled a squeaker in Alabama, against a child predator. Its gotta sting for the Republicans to lose a senate seat in such a deep red state. More than sting, its gotta put some fear in them heading toward the midterm. But imagine what it could have been if the Democratic candidate had been running a fully funded, well backed campaign from the beginning. I see it as the difference between being just missed by a car as you were about to step off the curb.. and having a car drive through the wall of your bedroom as you sleep, demolishing your nightstand just as you were about to put the book down and go to sleep for the night. Alarming vs flat out scary.
