special elections

Tomorrow is election day in Alabama. I'm rooting for Doug Jones. He doesn't just seem better than Roy Moore-- now there's a low bar-- but better than Jon Ossoff too. I bought into Ossoff, contributed some monet to him personally and Blue America endorsed him and raised him some money.

About a month ago, New York had some important local elections that ended very well. One was to for County Executive of Westchester. The incumbent, Trump crony Rob Astorino-- on whom Bannon and Mercer spent over a million dollars trying to stave off defeat-- was beaten 116,767 (57%) to 89,463 (43%) by Democratic state Senator George Latimer.

I have no idea how many Alabama voters even read newspapers, let alone factor their endorsements into their decision-making, but the 3 biggest newspapers in Alabama have a message for the voters there: "Stand for decency; reject Roy Moore." All three-- the Birmingham News, the Mobile Press-Register and the Huntsville Times-- endorsed Democrat Doug Jones. And they all put the endorsement on the front page of the Sunday papers.

Although there was a Fox poll last week that showed a 42-42% dead heat between Democrat Doug Jones and Nazi Roy Moore in the Alabama's special Senate election December 12, a new Fox poll shows the Nazi way ahead of Jones-- 52% to 41%.

John Kasich likes to paint himself as the most bipartisan politician in America. That's camouflage. He happily signed one of the most egregious gerrymandering bills in the country, cutting Ohio up, which voted for Obama both times he's ran and elected progressive Democrat Sherrod Brown both times he ran. Because Kasich did, 50/50 swing state Ohio now has 12 Republicans in Congress and 4 Democrats instead of 8 and 8.

A friend of mine who works for the DCCC, for the paycheck-- but feels like he's in enemy territory everyday and often calls me with Bozo-the-Clown stories-- told me that on Wednesday the imbeciles he works with were parading David Richardson around one of their Candidates Week functions like he was some kind of a prized poodle.

You're out, bitch-- now go home and stop embarrassing everyoneThe Tim Murphy saga started unfolding Wednesday and we mentioned it as part of the coverage of the GOP's latest anti-Choice bill.

You see that chart up top; the GOP is desperate to get it done-- and get it done fast. They sense what's coming. It's called a wave... and it's already building. If it's like one of the recent mega-waves-- in 2006 the Republicans lost a net of 30 seats. Their congressional vote went from 49.4% of the popular vote in 2004 to 44.3%, a precipitous 5.1% drop. In 2010 the shoe was on the other foot.
