Unfortunately, odds are the DNC will claim this as a win for their establishment despite numbers showing this one hinged on the black vote they've done embarrassingly little to court since the departure of Obama. I haven't been a registered Republican since about 2010, so I don't really have a stake in this, but truthfully neither party deserves the grassroots support they've gotten the past several years. Glad Alabama was ultimately able to make the difficult moral decision of not going with the guy who actually needed to put forth a concerted effort to try and prove he wasn't a kiddie fiddler, though the closeness of the election proves that's not as obvious a choice as I had hoped.
