Moore holds a commanding 10-point lead over incumbent Senator Luther Strange, according to a poll conducted by potential primary challenger Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala. Roy Moore leads the race with 30 percent, followed by Strange at 20 percent, and Rep. Brooks in “the low double-digits.” Strange was appointed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ former Senate seat by disgraced former Gov. Robert Bentley before he resigned last month. Many see the appointment as a corrupt deal struck between a governor, Bentley, mired in scandal and the state attorney general, Strange, prosecuting him. Gov. Kay Ivey, Bentley’s successor, called for an early special primary election on Aug. 18 followed by a runoff on September 26 and a general election on December 12. Moore’s candidacy in Alabama is strong. Many Alabamians see Moore – the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court – as a martyr for the social conservative cause after he was removed from office for directing state probate judges not to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples. "I have done my duty under the laws of this state to stand for the undeniable truth that God ordained marriage as the union of one man and one woman," Moore said during the press conference in front of the state capitol after the Alabama Supreme Court upheld the decision to remove Moore from the court. The Washington establishment is backing Senator Strange for reelection. McConnell allies in the National Republican Senatorial Committee are threatening potential primary challengers to Strange to dissuade them from running. "We have made it very clear from the beginning that Sen. Luther Strange would be treated as an incumbent," NRSC spokeswoman Katie Martin reportedly told Politico. "It has also been a clear policy that we will not use vendors who work against our incumbents." Despite the NRSC’s threats, the polling shows that there is a race in Alabama, and the conservative challenger has a clear shot at winning.

To: Gatlin (#0) Strange was appointed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ former Senate seat by disgraced former Gov. Robert Bentley before he resigned last month. Many see the appointment as a corrupt deal struck between a governor, Bentley, mired in scandal and the state attorney general, Strange, prosecuting him. . . . "We have made it very clear from the beginning that Sen. Luther Strange would be treated as an incumbent," NRSC spokeswoman Katie Martin reportedly told Politico. "It has also been a clear policy that we will not use vendors who work against our incumbents." They hate Moore and the GOPe is closing ranks to defeat him. Why they want this corrupt former AG in the Senate is beyond me. OTOH, they do hate Moore because he would be as big a bull-in-a-china-shop as Ted Cruz is. A few days back on AL.com: When I talked to him Monday, state Senate Pro Tem Del Marsh said he isn't ready yet to announce his political intentions, but he had already selected a national political firm to run a campaign, just in case. If he runs for United States Senate in a special election later this year, he will have to declare his candidacy before the qualifying deadline on May 17. Time is precious. But about a week ago, he says, that firm called to let him know they couldn't run his campaign, after all. When Marsh asked them why, they explained that they could suffer political retaliation. State Rep. Ed Henry says he's run into the same problems. "It is evident that Washington, D.C., controls Washington, D.C.," Henry said. "The people of Alabama or any other state have very little influence on these races." As stories go, this one might should come with a tinfoil hat, except that it's true. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has warned national political consulting firms to stay away from anyone challenging Luther Strange. It makes no difference to them that Strange has only been in Washington a couple of months. It doesn't matter that Strange was appointed to the office by Robert Bentley, a widely unpopular governor who was forced from office, to cheers from across the state. It matters not that Strange solicited that appointment from Bentley while his office had an open investigation into the governor and his staff. The NRSC is making no secret about it. Strange is, in their book, an incumbent, and just like any other Washington insider, he is entitled to the benefits and privileges that club membership confers. "We have made it very clear from the beginning that Sen. Luther Strange would be treated as an incumbent," NRSC spokeswoman Katie Martin told Politico. "It has also been a clear policy that we will not use vendors who work against our incumbents." Got that? If a firm works for Marsh, Henry, Roy Moore or anyone else who might jump in, then they're blackballed. With 33 Senate races on the ballot in 2018, with about half of those expected to be competitive, getting cut out of 2018 is an existential threat for these consultants, and a risk that most will refuse to take. The NRSC's threat to campaign consultants follows reports that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell personally asked Gov. Kay Ivey not to schedule a special election to replace Jeff Sessions until 2018. Meanwhile, Strange already has $763,612 in his campaign account, while his opponents will have to catch up with him $2,700 at a time, the maximum contribution allowed under federal campaign law. And it's important to understand that these political consulting firms are instrumental not for how to spend campaign money, but raising it. They're the guys with the lists of donors and the secret passageways around campaign finance restrictions. Without one of these teams on your side, a candidate can die in the desert. And right now, Strange's D.C. supporters are cutting Alabama candidates off from this kind of help. Because God help us if we ever had a fair fight. This is how the power of incumbency works, and it's also how democracy rots, because it deprives voters of the thing they need for this system to work -- a choice. Moore did install his own private 2.5-ton 10 commandments monument in the state judicial building with no authorization. So he is more than a little flaky. You just aren't allowed to install your own religious brick-a-brac in state buildings on a personal whim or as a political tactic. So I guess this is a runoff between the Flake (Moore) and the Fluke (Strange). Given how Alabama is, I'd bet on the Flake to win easily. No one except the GOPe will be shedding any tears over Strange losing this seat he obtained so corruptly, almost certainly by blackmailing a corrupt AL governor who he was investigating at the time. Strange would have had a better chance if the GOPe wasn't backing him so much. Alabama voters will (rightly) perceive that the Swamp is trying to shove a corrupt former A.G. down their throats.

To: A K A Stone (#3) People who call the honorable Roy Moore a flake are faggots who want to pretend to be married. Gee, are you single, AKA? We could be so happy together. My digestive tract is aching to be filled with your man-love. Can't we exchange diseases like any other couple? LOL Yes, it is flaky for judges to put up 2.5-ton religious monuments inside state judicial buildings. If you want to do something like that, run for the legislature or for governor and pass a law to authorize it. Crackpot judges don't get to just install their own personal monuments on state property. Moore is a weirdo and a very poor choice as a judge, whether you agree with the outcomes in any particular case that he heard. But he will probably win that senate seat in a landslide after the GOPe carries out a full character assassination that will only cement his already-strong support in AL. That doesn't make him a good choice, just a very likely winner. I will be watching this race. I expect the GOPe will pull out all the stops and campaign against Moore in much the same way they campaigned against David Duke when he tried to run for senate in Lousiana. In that instance, the GOPe behaved the same way they are now treating Moore and eventually urged Republicans to vote against Duke and endorsed Duke's Dem opponent so they could stop Duke. I have to wonder whether Trump will pick a side in the Alabama race or (wisely) stay out of it completely.

To: Tooconservative (#4) Moore is a weirdo and a very poor choice as a judge, No people who disagree with Moore are mostly sickos. Not you. It surprises me you attack a constitutionalist. Can you give me 3 or 5 decisions that Roy Moore got wrong. I've never heard a case where he got anything wrong. The 10 commandments belong in the courthouse. It is the basis of all law.
