There is nothing more important for any of us at this moment in time. A convergence of the worst candidate republicans could field and a very unpopular president and despicable republican led congress has given us democrats a chance to overcome an impossibility unprecedented just two months ago. There is little doubt that there is a democratic tide coming in 2018 to sweep under many previously held republican seats in congress but the tide couldn't be more appropriate if it started it's trajectory here in Alabama, roll tide! I know that the state is a deep red state with no statewide office held by any democrat. But with a great democratic Alabama son running with a moderate tone and a willingness to work with all Alabamians to make a real difference in their lives the chances of this senate seat turning blue becomes somewhat probable.
If this becomes a watershed moment for democrats in 2 weeks time the idea that the south is beginning to turn it's back to republicans gives us democrats a chance to offer a moderately progressive agenda aimed specifically at improving education, health care and opportunities for employment that would lift the south up in more general ways. Focusing on tabletop issues of economics, education and health care would go a long way toward renewing a democratic partnership with the south. It can all start here in Alabama culminating in the next 14 days. But we cannot sit back and expect Alabamians to learn this on their own. We must get our resources out to the democratic candidate Jones so he can make his case in the most effective way, loudly and often.
It will take an inundation of advertising and message focus to get Jones over the hump of the traditional knee jerk voting for republicans in the south. That Moore is a dastardly alternative to Jones will help and highlighting Moore's penchant for young girls can only deepen the mistrust and dislike many Alabamians already feel toward him. Jones is a candidate that has shown that he is tough on those who harm while wanting a more prosperous and enlightened future for his Alabama constituents. The time is now for all of us nationwide to get on board with Doug Jones and help him get his message out there with a flood of support over the next 336 hours. The time is now and the tide is ready to roll!
