You know the old political saw, "the only poll that matters is Election Day." The Alabama Senate race between Democrat Doug Jones and teen predator and would-be confederate general Roy Moore is a nearly impossible race to poll, and the polls show that. They're all over the place, everything from an absolute tie between the two to Jones leading by 10 and Moore leading by 10.
The circus this race has become was reflected in the candidates' election eve rallies and the folks each candidate has in their corner.
Former president Barack Obama and former vice president Joe Biden recorded robo-calls for Democrat Doug Jones, while President Trump recorded an appeal for Republican Roy Moore. […]
The evening before, for his last event of the campaign, Moore brought in a raft of out-of-state conservative activists, including former White House adviser Stephen K. Bannon, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.), and former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. […]
Jones, who is focused on turning out African American voters, held a final campaign rally in Birmingham on Monday night, where he was joined on stage by basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, actress Alyssa Milano and the city’s newly elected mayor, Randall Woodfin, among others.
Barkley, an Alabama native, attacked Trump, Bannon and Moore in his brief opening remarks. Moore, he said, was appealing to “the same people who’ve been holding us back for many, many years.”
