Points to Ponder:
"For those screaming 'WAPO hit job' you had a candidate:
Who when asked if he dated teenagers as a 30 yr old said 'not usually'
Warned of shariah courts being established in Michigan and Illinois
Had surrogates tell a pregnant host 'Doug Jones wants to abort your baby'
Said America was better during the era of slavery.... TO A BLACK MAN
Wanted to repeal the 13th and 14th amendments
Had his wife counter charges of insensitivity towards Jews with 'my lawyer is a Jew'
Spent the final day of the campaign arguing over whether people had to take the oath of office on a Christian bible, and if homosexuality should be criminalized.
But please, please tell me how he lost due to a media hit job." [Kevin M. Tierney]

Briefly...
Last night answered one question and it was this:
--Are we going to get a slew of articles on how the GOP is beyond redemption or on how the GOP is finished?
With Jones' win, it is/will be the latter.

One of the Trump loving radio folks apparently admitted saying in a tweet (in a tip to one of their advertisers) that she cut her twat while shaving last night and should have used a Harry's razor!

A good summary of the Roy Moore situation can be read here:
No Moore Pretense
It would be so much easier if Moore supporters just admitted the guy was scum but to paraphrase FDR on Somoza "he is our scum." For those who play the "he's innocent" and "theres no evidence" cards, you are beneath contempt and would fit in well at the Institute of Historical Review!

Quin Hillyer: Roy Moore's own words prove his falsehood
Quin Hillyer summarizes a core problem with the Republican Senate candidate from Alabama well in this article (I will quote the first few paragraphs here):
"Even if we don’t know for certain whether Roy Moore had sexual contact (of a sort) with 14-year-old Leigh Corfman, we now know that Moore has made a conscious decision to lie about his onetime relationships with teenage girls.
We know this from a combination of his own words and of new evidence that would be accepted as probative in any American court of law. (More on the evidence, shortly.)
The odd thing is that Moore’s initial reaction was to tell at least a simulacrum of the truth, only later to change to a flat-out lie. Often, a liar works in the other direction, at first denying everything and then admitting little dribs and drabs as new evidence warrants. Who knows: Maybe this strange evolution from partial truth to full prevarication gives an indication that, somehow, Moore’s conscience is warring with itself.
Either way, his willingness to move to full-fledged dishonesty helps undermine his onetime semi-believable denials of the worst of the charges against him. One fib does not prove that his other statements are lies, of course, but it does establish that he is not entirely trustworthy..."
