The DNC,DSCC,AL Dem Party and other progressive grassroots organizations need to help Doug Jones.

We need to make sure that Jones has a fighting chance in defeating Roy Moore or Luther Strange.
Could the Charlottesville incident lead Independents and Moderate Republicans into supporting Jones-D?

Going National with this race means the GOP wins. Keeping it local means a closer race.

which is something given that this is Alabama. Strange, for some odd reason, is thought of as corrupt just because he claimed he was investigating the governor, then claimed he wasn't when the governor appointed him to the Senate, then said oh yea I was investigating him, can't imagine why he would be thought of as corrupt. Moore, for some odd reason, is thought of as an insane zealot just because he put up a statue of the ten commandments, refused to take it down, got arrested, impeached, ran for the court again and won (sadly) and went right back to being in contempt of federal courts. I actually think we have a better chance against Strange.
