Just the write-ins alone, you saw the president's tweet mentioning that number, and what was actually a very gracious tweet if you think about where the president has been on commenting on some of these races. >> shannon: the g.o.p. certainly did not want to lose a senate seat. that is not helpful for supreme court nominations or anything else they have going on over there. but in a way, does this eliminate some sort of headache that they would've had to deal with moving forward? apparently the word was there was going to be a 10:00 a.m. meeting with mitch mcconnell to get everyone in the g.o....

Ridiculous. i would just point out, alabama is only a generation or two removed when a time when its name was tied to infamy, when it was tied to george wallace, when it was tied to about enthusiastic segregation. it is not something that alabamians are particularly interested in associating themselves with. that is why roy moore, and the past, was not only removed from office but struggled in statewide races and that is why you put the added part on about the sex scandal, he just becomes a no-go and i think that is when you get those tens of thousands of write-in votes, saying it won't vote f...
