Without the allegations, any republican candidate wipes the floor with Jones.


I disagree, but again, no real sense in arguing over it since there is no way to prove it one way or another.


Right, no way to prove either way but one thing that is not in doubt is that the Democratic party smelled blood, energized their base and got people to vote. It took a strong effort on their part and a bad candidate on the Republican side and it was still a close race. The Republicans need to learn a lesson from this fiasco.

Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
