He was very low key. he didn't jump on the roy moore thing in a craven way from the beginning. and he handled himself with dignity, but his organization built on the ground. there wasn't a democratic organization to speak of in the state of alabama, statewide, and he had to build and they had to build an organization to bring out the kind of vote that they brought today, and then the use of the obama robo call, governor patrick, cory booker, and others who came in late, of course, bakari sellers needs to be mentioned in this pantheon of political leaders. it was done at just the right time and...
