First on CNN: Obama tells Alabama voters to reject Roy Moore
Former President Barack Obama is adding his voice to the Alabama Senate race, imploring voters to go to the polls Tuesday to reject the candidacy of Roy Moore as part of an aggressive effort by Democrats to try and counter President Donald Trump's full-throated endorsement of the controversial Republican candidate.
"This one's serious," Obama says in the call. "You can't sit it out."
Two Democratic officials familiar with the Alabama race tell CNN that Obama recorded the phone message in recent days, at the very time Trump stepped up his own involvement in the campaign with a recorded message. Obama does not mention Moore by name.
"Doug Jones is a fighter for equality, for progress," Obama says. "Doug will be our champion for justice. So get out and vote, Alabama."
Obama's message to voters -- intended to specifically reach black voters whose turnout is critical for Democratic candidate Jones -- comes on the eve of a special election that has drawn extraordinary national attention and divided the Republican Party over whether sexual allegations against Moore make him unfit for office.

Surely they realize this will help Moore, right?

This will surely lock up the black vote for the Democrat.

This 16 year old American kid, Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki, was murdered in Yemen by a drone strike ordered by Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama. His crime? Visiting his father in Yemen. How Obama is viewed as someone with any scintilla of humanity or morality is beyond me.

Honestly, Doug Jones has had an issue energizing voters. If he wants to have ANY shot, the black vote has to turn out. Getting Obama out there is a huge help.
NPR had a really good interview with a black voter from Birmingham. His criticism of Jones was that all he talks about is his prosecution of the Birmingham church bombers. He never talks about the issues and doesn't seem genuine in his outreach to the black community.

I was claiming that Gloria Allred single handily won this election for Moore. Now it looks like I am going to have to give Obama some of the credit.

If this election was during the 1980s then the Dems would have it locked up.

Jones should have turned down the "help". Obama has been toxic to pretty much anyone he supported in an election. Good at getting himself elected but not much else.
Could be kiss of death for Roy.
