I'll be perfectly honest. I sat at the voting table for a long time yesterday.
I found Roy detestable. Not for the WP allegations, which I consider little more than a political smear job, but just on general principles.
I may agree with his stance on religious displays. I may agree more with his position on same sex marriage and some other social issues than I do with the liberal side. My problem with him was the delivery. I have no reason to doubt his personal faith, but I felt like it was more for show. It felt orchestrated. His pandering also gave me reason to think he was not very intelligent. His wife really needed to never speak in public. They came off as backwater rubes. I didn't care for that.
The ad where he turned and leered into the camera unnerved me. Quite by accident I today discovered the "minds" behind that horrifying mistake.
So I sat there looking at the ballot.
Do I vote for Moore knowing that he's more than likely going to say something stupid, cause an uproar in the Senate with his antics and be a true wildcard when it comes to his voting record?
Do I vote for Doug, knowing that he's not a bright guy either and that I oppose him on virtually every position?
Do I squander my vote and write in something, knowing that NOT choosing lets others make the choice for me without my true input?
There was no good answer. It came down to a choice between ideologies as opposed to candidates. As far as that goes, I couldn't support Jones. I don't agree with Moore on some things either, but...
I really think Ivey should have declared Moore unfit and either cancelled the election or substituted a viable candidate.
