Remember the name, Doug Jones. This is not the former Major League Pitcher. This is the former United States Attorney whose chances for winning the Alabama Senate Seat once held by Jeff Sessions skyrocketed with disgraced former State Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore winning the Republican Primary tonight. The election for the seat will be held in December. Moore is a candidate who is to the right of the alt-right. Even though this is Alabama, the Democrats, through Jones, may have a real chance (although it is still slim) to pull this out and set the Democrats on course for major inroads in local, state, and federal elections in 2018. In another bit of news, Democrats, at the state level took another Republican-held seat in Florida. Let's see what happens in New Jersey and Virginia in November. It can be telling if Democrats do not blow it.
