I made this post before I saw your last post, so I'll delete it because your latest post answers my thoughts/questions.

I think we both agree that hopefully one of them can beat out Moore.

:cheers:
Just because he's a retired Seal and cops seem to like him is good, but that really isn't enough of an argument to vote for him for Senator over someone that has an actual good track record.

Again, I'm down for voting for Hudson, but I'm going to have to be sold on it.
I'm still on the fence with between Hudson and Marshall. I've actually been pretty pleased with Marshall's stint as AG. He was the one that basically forced meemaw's hand with the redistricting, and actually fought the Biden admin over the mandatory Covid shots for government workers (which affected me). Plus I lived in Marshall County back when he was DA there, and was pretty pleased with his term there.

So sell me on Hudson. I don't know much about his political record other than his failed run for Sherriff. I'm always hesitant to vote for someone if I don't have some sort of track record to go by.

Unfortunately it's most likely all for naught since from some reason Trump decided to endorse Moore. I just don't understand Trump endorses some of the people he does.

Same thing is going to happen with Alabama's Senator race. For some reason Trump endorsed Barry Moore, and now he'll most likely win with that endorsement in a landslide. Also Steve Marshall and Jared Hudson will syphon votes from one another which increases the likelihood that Moore wins.

I just can't figure why Trump feels the need to endorse some of the candidates that he does.

So, the 80% black District in Alabama (7) will also be split up, or will they let it stay as it is?

I think for this upcoming midterm they will leave the 7th because it will take some major redrawing of the other districts to turn it into a lean R district. They can easily push the pre-2023 map, that flips district 2 back to R, and get it out in time for there to be minimal issues with the primaries.

Hopefully they'll work on that 7th district before the next major election cycle.

As a Sheriff yes, he has LEO exp. but as senator zero exp,.


This is what I was thinking. But Hudson sure does seem to have a lot of supporters, and I am just curious why so many people seem to want him over Marshall. I say that because I'm just not that familiar with Hudson, and it doesn't appear that he has much of a track record when it comes to public office.

I'm afraid that Hudson and Marshall are going to pull enough votes from each other that it will give Moore the easy win, especially since Moore somehow has Trump's and a lot of Senators'/Reps' endorsements.

Jared Hudson - Senator

Sell me on Jared Hudson over Steve Marshall.

I personally think Marshall has done a pretty good job as AG, but I'll admit that I don't know a whole lot about Hudson.

Let's see if the LA legislature has the guts to do this.

Same with Alabama. The last I saw the goal is to eventually get to 7-0, but I still have a funny feeling they may go the easy route and just redraw the 2nd district to make it 6-1, at least for the midterm.
I was looking through my 8th grade year book, and in one of the random pictures they took of my classroom I saw that I was wearing a Big Johnson t-shirt.

Two thoughts came to mind when I saw myself in that shirt:
1. I can't believe that my mother actually let me go to school in that shirt.
2. I can't believe my 8th grade teachers allowed me to wear that shirt in their classroom.
quote:

I hope 5 days is enough time to get it done.

If I had to guess they will initially just go back to the pre-2023 districts for this election cycle which will turn the 2nd district back to red. I think a second redistricting session will have to be called at a later date to change the 7th district since that one will probably take more time to redraw.
quote:

you are probably right, but the race just got a lot tighter

Oh, I was considering voting for Marshall for that seat before he filed this injunction (I need to do a lot more research on Moore's voting record since he wasn't my rep.)

Heck, I wish Marshall was running for the Governor seat and Tubbs was staying in the Senate. Tubbs has been a pleasant surprise as a Senator, but I'm still a little weary of how well he'll do as Governor. But Marshall has been in a high state level position, and he has actually been a pretty decent AG.
quote:

Steve Marshall just won his upcoming election

Unfortunately he is running for Tubbs Senate seat, and Trump along with Vance and a bunch of Senators and House Reps have already endorsed Barry Moore for that seat so I would think that Moore is a shoe-in for that seat.
That guy definitely played it all wrong. If she was really harassing him in the manner that he claims, not only making crazy racist remarks while sexually harassing him, but even going to the point of roofieing and raping him, then he should've hired a professional PI to help him record and document everything she was doing, and then blackmail the hell out of her.

He could've got the cushiest job promotion in that company out of this, and even turned her into his bitch if he could've gathered the right evidence of all of the crazy stuff he is claiming.
quote:

The part I underlined is of course what I'm worried about because the Republicans could ruin a wet dream and not take any action.

Alabama will have to wait for Tubbs to take over the governor's seat because MeeMaw has been sitting on her arse for her last term.

Mee Maw better get off her arse and do the same in Alabama. We were just forced in the last election to add a second black district, so she better be getting that remedied immediately and redraw the Birmingham/black belt seat as well while she's at it.

Why even bother with a 4th season if this is the route they've decided to go. They might get viewers for the first couple of episodes just based off the popularity of the previous seasons, but I just don't see people sticking around to see him coach a women's soccer team. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they the show will beat the audience over the head with why women's sports are just as exciting and important as men's sports.
His drawn out reenactment of "what happened" in Clue is still my favorite Tim Curry moment ever. Absolute brilliance!

That's because you kept it outside. If you are not planning on keeping the rabbit in the house where it can be around people giving it attention all of the time, then do not get one. When they are left outside with limited interaction with the family, they turn mean.

When I pulled my out, I didn’t realize how long it was. I pulled a little bit slowly, stop, and then pull again. I quickly realized that was not the best method

Yeah, the urologist pulled it out in one long/quick motion. It felt like the most intense pissing sensation I could imagine, but he knew what he was doing and it didn't last long.

But having to pull it out myself, ummm...no thanks. You are definitely a better man than me. I'm not even sure how I would be able to put myself in the headspace to be able to do it.

I had to keep the stent in for a week. For me, that week was completely painful. They told me I had to pull it out on my own (I did) unless there was any issues or I just couldn’t make my self do it.

Having the stent in was far more uncomfortable for me than when it was removed. I learned real quick that getting a boner was that last thing I wanted. When the doctor removed it it just felt like the most intense pissing sensation that I could ever imagine, but it wasn't like an intense pain. But I can't imagine having to remove it myself (geez). Luckily my urologist removed it for me.
