Who is the Democrat?

In addition to Brooks, Strange so far will be facing off with State Rep. Ed Henry (R), the controversial former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, businessman Dom Gentile, and Christian Coalition of Alabama President Randy Brinson as well as a Democrat, former U.S. Attorney Doug Jones.

Uh…Dom? I have a feeling that due to the aPParatchik and his accomplices the “bring a business perspective to the Office” shtick is so far past it’s “Best by” date that the Biohazard disposal unit is en route.

Of course Brooks will run. Being a special election, he doesn’t have to give up his House seat to do it.

Gets a Free Shot at a step upwards, with no penalty for losing.

So how does this election work? Is there a GOP primary for it, or does the divided field offer hope for something interesting?

Although he had the power to schedule an election in 2017, Bentley initially decided to align it with the 2018 general election,[1] before Kay Ivey, his successor, later moved the date up to December 12, 2017, scheduling the primary for August 15 and primary runoff for September 26.

The difference between Mo Brooks and Mel Brooks is that one is an unending source of low comedy and creative chaos, the other is Mel Brooks. (Also, Mel’s comedy was intentional).

Without doing an iota of research, and by relying on broad, regionialist generalizations, I think I can confidently predict: the gop’ers will say some nutty shit to out-crazy one another, and the voters will be offered with 2 choices who both think trump is just hunky dory. Then the republican will win, victory barbeques will be held, and Nick Saban will continue to dominate the SEC.

Ah, so there will be primaries on both sides.

Even by Alabama’s alarmingly low standards, this should be a weapons-grade clusterfuck for the GOP.
