Can’t ignore the news today. 51 to 49 is the new Senate math. Really a low, low bar when a victory against a Supreme Court defying pedophile, by only 21,000 votes, is seen as a crushing message. Yes, it’s in the deepest of the deep South and that does matter, but for a party that has trumpeted its family and religious values as core to its purpose, its representative in this race had flaws that should have kept him out of the race in the first place. In other words if the rot in the Republican party were not so pervasive, had they not allowed corruption to rule their primary process, they would have won this seat easily. I’m glad Jones won and I hope the way he won does augur Republican troubles at mid-term elections next year, but I’m not ready to celebrate quite yet.
