He filled a void left by an Alabama Democratic Party in shambles.

The only thing that matters here is the opportunity December 12th to knock off presumptive favorite Roy Moore.

It will be a referendum on Alabama Republican Party corruption and incompetence, and the effectiveness of nominating rightwing fringe extremists even here in Alabama.

The lesson for southern Democrats is that - if we win - a "good" candidate can knock off a "bad" candidate regardless of political party strength.
