Wife has lots of family in Alabama -- brother (single), sister-in-law (widow of wife's brother), nephew, lots of cousins. They ALL are MAGAts, they ALL will vote for Tuberville as will most of the rest of Alabama.
We know Doug Jones through our DC attorney daughter who has worked with Jones. He should have been Biden's Attorney General -- US history would have been very different.

Remember the closing scene:
The old detective says to Jack Nicholson's character: "Forget it, Jake. It's Alabama."
And that's the reason they will elect Tuberville.

(42,607 posts)last time Jones ran in the General Election against an extremely pervy GOPer, he won. Against an average pervy GOPer in the next election, he lost.
