And why?

Moore, because he didn't weasel his way into it.

It reminds me of a South Park episode, where they were having an election to choose a school mascot. Choices were Giant Douche and Turd Sammich.

Yep, I don't care what people say, big Luther made a deal with you know who and that's why I will vote moore

Moores endorsements are:

James Dobson
Sarah Palin
Chuck Norris
Phil Robertson

He put those on his commercial.

Not a joke

Moore because I think he will stand up for what he believes and won't back down.

I'd take more. I've talked to my wife about it and she was excited about it. Good thing, because if she didn't approve I had seriously thought about some strange.

Isn't the Judge in the lead by about 12%? I would vote for him if I voted in Bama.

All good people in my book.

Moore cause he hasn't cut a deal. But whoever wins is going to have to face Doug Jones more than likely.

Moore if I still lived there. Just because strange is backed by Mitch McConnell. Tells you all you need to know

Moore because Strange has ran all those bogus ads.

Moore

Luther lost me with his negative campaign that hitched his wagon to Mitch McConnell and flip flopping on the senate majority rule vote. I believe He will caucus(drag his feet) with the establishment republicans if elected. I will vote Roy Moore and hope he can keep from making himself a political martyr, like his past and contribute to moving the current administration agenda forward. Not really happy with either to be honest.

Moore. The Liberals are scared to death of him and that, alone, gets me into his camp.

My parents are good people in my book, but if they're the most legitimate endorsement I could get it would say something

Moore. Cause I am tired of all the strange commercials.

Maybe it does say something about you. I guess McConnell is a good endorsement in your book.

Strange has literally killed his campaign with the negative Moore ads. Not one single ad has mentioned that Strange was a lobbyist for 20 plus years. We have Bentley to thank for this crap show.

Strange. Moore was put in a position Twice and lost it for the same reason which is stupid in my book so he doesn't or can't learn. Not a strong Strange supporter as I first voted for someone else. Luther has helped the agricultural community before the luv gov came along. I feel he is the lessor of two idots.

Seems like a leap

But I'm sure you realize that

I think the reason Strange is losing and will lose this race is because EVERYONE knows that RINO establishment money is funding him. The PACs that fund his campaign are straight run by Mitch McConnel. If I walked up on that guy and he was on fire, I would throw marshmallows at him.

Moore because the commercial I keep hearing for Luther strange is paid for by the Senate committee. I don't want anyone up there the Senate is trying to get elected.

I honestly don't know today because both of them have great big huge strikes against them in my book. I'm at the point that I would even consider voting for Doug Jones if I thought it was possible for him to not toe the party line. I don't think he can though so it will be a Republican that I vote for in the general election. I may just sit the runoff out since I'm so undecided on it.

Moore. I believe he is the better candidate. Strange commercials and all the NRA calls I've received are driving me crazy.

Thats the consensus from most everyone Ive heard talking about the race.
Luther probably would have been a walk in if not for the adds coming out, and him bailing from any talk radio interviews.

I feel like Strange is running his campaign on a strategy of beating down competition.

The only problem is that he's doing it on credit. Financed by the swamp.

Moore, he's the best monkey wrench we've got this go around.

I can't vote for Moore. I sit in his court and watch him screw a young girl over. She was trying to get out of a abusive marriage. To a convicted drug dealer and user. Moore give her the baby. But no child support and while she was having to work she had to leave the baby with said deadbeat.

I'm not going to take the time to go vote for either of them. Neither one does anything for me

I'm going to vote against Luther Strange. Period.

Sounds like she needs to find a job that offers childcare or another place for the child to go. The girl got the kid so she wins and will be much better off not relying on deadbeat one day. How did she get screwed?

There is a reason politicians go negative in their campaigns. It works incredibly well. It makes a lot of people uncomfortable but data shows it is a very effective strategy.

Neither. Because they both suck really badly. I'll be voting democrat in the general because he's the lesser turd sammich.

Being Alabamer, there are no libertarian candidates.

Roy Moore had to sleep on sand bags while in Vietnam so his men wouldn't frag him in his sleep. That would be enough in my book but the list is so long it just makes me laugh out loud thinking about it.

Luther Strange stopped impeachment investigations by the Legislature into Robert Bentley’s misconduct not once but TWICE. November 2016, when Trump was elected and made an opening in the US Senate likely, and in January 2017 when he was being interviewed by Bentley for the seat. Both times, he said there was an ongoing investigation by his office, and asked the Legislature to stop their inquiries. After he took his senate seat, he said his office had never had an investigation into the luv guv.

Both men should be barred from holding public office.

Moore cause Luther and Bentley made a deal and Marble Mouth Mcconnell is behind Luther. Enough for me

True, sadly. I'll take Doug Jones over Roy Moore.

Strange. I can't believe it because I've been against him from the beginning but it is what it is. My reasoning is because Moore is so disrespected in Washington that he will NEVER get anything done. He couldn't get people to agree that oxygen is a good thing so he will be a lame duck. Also, as much as I disrespect Strange, Trump wants him and I support Trump's agenda. Not everything he does and how he goes about it but he has enough folks against him from both sides already so I'm looking at the bigger picture and going with Strange.

Never Moore!!!!!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'll take Doug Jones, the man, over Roy Moore any time. I can't take Doug Jones, the Democrat though. If he won, I bet there wouldn't be a time that he didn't follow the party line.

X2 and the slimy ads are making it even more solid in my mind.

Strange changes his views/stance with the political wind
Moore has stood his ground and not wavered on his stance

Roy Mo.
Strange is supported by McConnel and jbc

That's a great idea! Maybe with a little luck we can get Schumer in charge of the senate and he can do great things like stopping any reasonable justice being confirmed.

I'm voting for Moore. I also like his stance on supporting the fair tax.

Luther only tries to make himself look taller by cutting everyone else off at the knees.

Run on your record or get out. I am sick and tired of all the "Strange" mudslinging!!! I would vote for Daffy Duck before I voted for Luther Strange.

Anyone that votes democrat is voting for more of the same: illegal immigration, higher taxes, Obamacare, and everything else Nancy Pelosi stands for. You can bet they would tow the party line!!! Between confirmation of Judges, committees, and majority rules type stuff, in today's environment, I could NEVER vote for a Democrat.

Moore,but I don't like either choice.

Strange is a good old boy politician that will get along fine if you like how things have always been done.

Moore is a martyr who will likely find a cause to die for so he can have lots of publicity and funding,and not really accomplish anything.

^ This

Either one of these clowns is gonna force me to vote for my first Democrat ever. I realize this is Alabama and we don't have a whole lot to choose from, but DAMN........

I'd likely not vote if I still lived there. Thankfully I WILL eventually get to vote against Lindsay Graham if he runs again.

Tough choice if you AL guys choose to vote. And let's be real, a Dem ain't winning regardless of which of these goobers gets the runoff win.

I'd sit my ass at home and not vote before I'd cast a Dem vote.

Moore.

That's where I am right now. Anyone who would put the (D) by their name after the last eight years is pretty much off my list on the national level and probably on the locals too.

What bothers me the most about Strange isn't how he got the office since that kind of crap is expected and par for the course in Alabama politics, but what gets my goat is that he thinks we are so dumb to not realize the obvious truth or he doesn't seem to think it was wrong.

My issue with Moore has already been discussed on Aldeer so I won't open that can of worms again.

I just hate the idea of voting by picking the candidate who offends me the least and I'm referring to the runoff. The one with R behind their name will get my vote in the big election.

Moore for me and the missus.

I am really confused here. I voted for Moore in the primary and heard today that President Trump and VP Pence are backing Strange as is the NRA and a Right to Life Organization.

If that's the case, why is Moore the candidate for Alabama? I commend him for his stance on the 10 Commandments but what else?

Moore.

Because Stange is the incumbent and he is predictable for them.

My understanding is that any incumbent (if Strange can be called that) who has a pro gun record automatically gets the NRA backing.

This article was written by Austin Barbour the nephew of Haley Barbour...both establishment/D.C. guys. The author was instrumental in defeating Chris McDaniel in MS back in 2014. While there are some major differences between the AL race and the MS race there are enough similarities to have me concerned about losing a beatable race to Mitch McConnell and his cronies. It's imperative that we contact family friends and neighbors if we are to see a Moore victory. Remember this is not so much about filling this seat for two years. If Strange pulls an upset it's going to be extremely difficult to dislodge him in two years. We just can't afford the impropriety that comes along with Strange and the deal he made with Bentley for the foreseeable future. Make sure and vote and just as important ensure others know how your voting.

Maybe southern democrats will rise again. I doubt it though.


Even better, maybe Dougy boy will end up being a centrist. He has so far. If we never vote in centrists, we'll never have them. Reagan was a self avowed centrist. And the most important thing above and beyond everything else - he's not a criminal (that we know of at least). Both of the "R stands for retarded right now" candidates are criminals of the highest order and expect you guys to not only be okay with it, but to vote for them.

It's yer vote - you cast it for who you want but don't ask me who I'm voting for and why unless you want to hear the honest answer.

Moore because Strange is being backed by the Senate committee money. I want Moore because the Senate wants Strange. Plus I think he is a better human.

I don't understand. Most of you say Trump can't get anyone in Congress to work with him and that's why nothing is getting done on his "agenda" (whatever it is today). He gives people a candidate that he wants voted in to move his agenda of draining the swamp forward but no one wants to vote for him? Probably just more 4th dimensional chess being played by The Donald.

Just can't get over it can you Bill?

That's a question I should ask you. Dog whistle?

That is confusing since almost everyone here seems to want the Trump platform to become law, yet they adamantly oppose the candidate most likely to be a big "Yea" for Trump. That certainly says a lot about how they feel about Strange.

Well.... Here are your choices for Republican:

1. Luther Strange who, in a blatant political move, chose NOT to prosecute the governor in exchange for the Senate seat vacated by Sessions.

OR

2. Roy Moore who, in a blatant political move, used the office of Supreme Court Justice to grand stand and gain favor with his followers all the while padding his pocket through his "foundation".


What I find the most funny about Moore is that he claims "religious freedom" was part of his courthouse stance. Oh really? Huh. You think ol Roy would have done the same thing over the Koran or the Torah?

I wouldn't vote for either of these clowns for dog catcher (sorry to insult any dog catchers reading this).

This!! I don't really like either one of them but they are all we have, I am worried that if Roy wins he will have problems going against the Dem...They will have the whole country up in arms against Roy because of the stand he took on gay marriage (which I agreed with)I know the whole country does not count in our Senate race but it will still get ugly..

Trump has been very vocal that he wants Strange in Congress but a lot of people that say obstructionist are hindering Donald won't vote for the guy he wants to move his agenda forward. It makes me wonder if some people are more enamoured with Trump and the big R than they are his latest political agenda.

staying home from this one. can't hold my nose and vote for either ...

I think it has more to do with how people perceive Strange to have gotten in office. To be honest, I don’t like either of them. For one, I don’t know how genuine Moore is with his faith and that is a concern shared by a lot of people. Two, Strange is a good old boy and supported by McConnell. Once again, Alabamians had a good choice and failed to vote as conservatively as we needed to vote. We like to say liberals are the emotional ones but, we don’t really have a leg to stand on there…sometimes at least. But, I’ll concede progressives are more emotionally driven and lack the capacity for reasoned decisions. We have just seen since the 2016 primaries how we can be emotionally driven.

Really, I'm not the one following Trump's every move shouting "Look what he did now!" "Look what he did now!" "I told you so!" "I told you so!"

I'm not saying I like everything the man does. I voted for him because he was a lot better than the only other choice. You might not like it but that's and maybe it shouldn't be that way,but that's what it was. There was only 2 choices.

Now that I made my choice I'll wait and see how it turns out. Overall ,I'm happy with how it's going. I'm at least going to give the man a chance and see how he does by the end of his term without whining every day about him.

I make comments about the president and all you ever want to discuss is me. I didn't realize you'd take my post about Trump so personal. J/K. Yes I did.

Which is more likely to vote for the Democrats national agenda of gun control, abortion rights, nationalized healthcare, etc.,etc.? The Democrat or the two goofballs running in the Republican primary? As bad as they are I can't see a single reason to vote democrat. Personally, I would prefer to put one in office that won't get much done rather than one who may help get a lot of the wrong stuff done.

Well Bill,I think I talk about a lot of things other than you.I'm just pointing out that lately it seems you haven't missed a single chance to take a swing at Trump,even here in a thread that wasn't even about Trump. I was thinking you may be auditioning for a job a CNN.

You're right, you do talk about a lot of things. I ignore and never comment on any of them that aren't directed at me, personally. I'll try to lay off Trump since I know it bothers you so much.J/K. No I won't

I doesn't bother me if someone wants to hate on Trump all they want just keep it fair and in perspective. i.e. playing fair consider the alternative and what we'd have today if Hillary was elected?

Shemale Bruce Jenner as ambassador to the UN? Continued complete un-exposed corruption within our Federal Law Enforcement and Intelligence agencies? Of course we wouldn't even know they wire tapped their political opponents so it wouldn't matter to us.

I said during the election you've got 2 choices. You can always not vote but that's not going to change anything. We are stuck with a 2 party system. If you don't like what Trump is doing that is fine but you've got no alternative unless you like transgender bathrooms and more free stuff for everyone Bernie.

Oh, I'm not hating on Trump. I think he's done a few good things. Much better than Hillary. What I see as problematic is a base so enamoured with the name and party they refuse to call him out and hold him accountable when he doesn't do what he promised. His Luther endorsement should cause concern for most conservatives but they can't bring themselves to call Donald on it because "at least he isn't Hillary". That kind of apathy and Carte Blanche gets us deeper in the swamp not closer to what was promised.

Ben Shapiro does it best with his Excellent Trump, Good Trump, and Bad Trump ratings. I have the same thought process. I’m going to praise him when he does something good but I’m not going to excuse him doing something I disagree with just because he’s better than the alternative. He is better than the alternative but that doesn’t mean we can put it on cruise from here on. My $0.02.

Shapiro is a strict constitutionalist and has exactly the right perspective, in.my opinion. Unfortunately, he's alienating a lot of people because they are much more loyal to Trump than they are to sound government. They absolutely despise anyone who calls Trump out when he goes off the rails, which is getting more and more frequent.

Hi jack intended....

DOUG JONES

Good guy that would have my vote in a second if he came out as an independent, or at least convince me somehow he is a Yellow Dog Dem.

If he really were a independent minded, old school yellow dog , Schumer would change his colors soon as he got to DC. I don't think there are any old school, conservative Dems left in the country. If there are they are mighty lonely.

I see both these guys as the same, maybe one or two clicks off of each other and each with their flaws and skeletons, but basically both representing your average GOP candidate.

Given my absolute hatred for the establishment GOP right now and their inability to get their fists out of each others a$$e$, I'm voting for Moore to send McConnell a message. Maybe it isn't much of a message but it's about all I can give McConnell's anti-MAGA posture right now.

Not really a high confidence vote for Moore, just a protest vote.

It seems that either one would support Trump's agenda, but Strange seems to be into McConnell's pocket.

Do y'all mean blue dog democrat?

In the 60's I heard the term as "Yellow Dog". Big Jim Folsom, George Wallace, etc.

they talking 'bout 'em nationally

mitch's boy

Right but yellow dogs towed the party line and blue dogs were the conservative democrats. There are actually a few of them left. I wasn't trying to be a douche and correct anybody. Just curious

Chuck Norris threw his support behind moore

Pence will be at a rally for strange tomorrow, I'm afraid the Trump/Pence support may change the game..

Back when I was still doing police work I called and emailed Big Luther asking him why , with open and constitutional carry strongly pronounced and declared a right in the Alabama and United States constitution, that law enforcement denied it and permits are required, as well people jailed for open and or concealed carry. He never replied to my call or the email. I will never support him. He knows what is legal and right, and ignores it.

I'm thinking Strange is campaigning so hard because he may not be able to get elected in local politics again. Him accepting the appointment from a corrupt governor whom he was in charge of investigating speaks volumes to everyone especially those that are in the district he'd have to run in

Yellow dog, blue dog , they'll all be pinko, left wing dogs when Chuck gets finished with them.

Sad that no one has a backbone anymore. The old "have to toe the party line" nonsense has ruined a lot of good people.

We need two or three more viable parties to make this system work right. The only way to make that happen is to take away the money. No one is going to do that - the folks in power are too spoiled and too sorry to make it work again.

I fear I have seen the last of the good ole USA. It doesn't bother me much as I have lots of other options but the vast majority of folks will watch the hatred from both sides consume the place until it burns down.

IMO if there were more parties it would only divide the republican party side. The dems are happy with who they have and what they get in return.

Why would it matter? The Republicans are mostly worthless liberals with a different letter by their name.

Did any of you see Fox 6 where they ran election results? They said they were testing it but it said "Strange 55%, Moore 45%"

I'm no conspiracy theorist but...

Without seeing the numbers, I would guess this is possible, if all the other candidates that voted for someone else in the primary went with Strange. I could see that being conceivable with Moore being more of a either you love him or hate him candidate. He may have gotten all the votes he's going to get in the primary and not pick up many more in the runoff.

I know locally, them Dems are quietly pushing the other Dems who didn't vote in the primary to vote Republican this time since this wouldn't be crossover voting. They seem to be pushing Strange.

Is there really a big difference in the senate voting between the two of them? I think Moore would probably vote the same as Strange on about any of the bills brought up. Neither one of them are the prettiest puppies in the litter.

I'll agree with this on a whole. Unless a vote comes up that Moore would view as a way to make himself a Martyr to further his political clout I think he would break ranks from Trump quicker than Strange would. I can't imagine what that voting issue would be though so I think that they would be tit for tat, basically the same thing.

It is absolutely possible. I haven't followed this like I should because frankly I'm not a fan of either. But, it would surprise me to see a heavy Trump state vote against someone he's endorsed...as crazy as it is. I'm going to start a new thread with the pic.

Moore because I haven't had to clean the mailbox out the first time because of him. Luthers gotten to where the door doesn't want to close
