Wikipedia raises a good ol' boys question:
Strange's appointment was welcomed by fellow Republicans, such as Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge,[33] and Karl Rove.[34] Conservative activists, such as Chris W. Cox of the NRA, also hailed the appointment.[35] NPR Southern political analyst Debbie Elliott said that Strange's conservative politics are "very much in the mold of Jeff Sessions." She noted that as state attorney general: "He's been very active in state-led fights against federal environmental regulations, against Obamacare, against transgender bathroom directives. He's fought for Alabama's strict abortion laws. He defended the state's controversial immigration law. A good bit of it was struck down by federal courts."[36]
There was negative reaction from other Republicans who expressed concern about Strange's appointment. In early November 2016, prior to Election Day, he had requested that impeachment proceedings against Bentley be delayed.[37] Some saw a link between this and Strange's appointment. "There's going to be such an air of conspiracy hanging over our state and our new senator," said state representative Ed Henry.[38] "It's just one of those things where it appears there could have been collusion," said state representative Allen Farley.[39] "The whole thing stinks," said State Auditor Jim Zeigler. "It is outrageous. We have the potential for Gov. Blagojevich situation."[40]
[...] Strange himself said February 10, "We have never said and I want to make this clear. We have never said in our office that we are investigating the governor. I think it's unfair to him and unfair to the process that it’s been reported out there.[43] We have six years of a record of the highest caliber of conduct of people in our Attorney General's office. That's why we don't comment on these things and why I don't plan to comment on that anymore."[42] Governor Bentley later resigned after being indicted on criminal charges.

Yup, runoff opponent against Luther Strange is crazy Roy Moore. Alabama is a cesspool.
UPDATE: An Alabama outlet praising Luther Strange.
FURTHER: More links? Try this video. The least common denominator --
Breitbart, here, here, here, redundantly here, and best until last, here and here. Encore. Is the runoff campaign about Mitch McConnell, or is that what Moore and Breitbart hope to project? Also, Alex Jones has a point of view. Or had one, before the Republican primary winnowed things. Using Roger Stone as a commentator.
NEXT: The Alabama Democrat who won his primary outright and is not facing a runoff and is set to oppose ether Strange or Moore, whichever wins the Republican runoff; this link and Wikipedia. Doug Jones is a former federal prosecutor with a civil rights conviction of the Birmingham Church bombers in his resume. Never worked as an oil drilling lobbyist, never a Dominionist nor an ignorant state judge. Has Tim Ryan as a supporter, the Rep. who challenged Pelosi for House leadership and, unfortunately, lost to that multimillionaire champion of corporatism and Clintonism, instead of being for the people. Ryan wanted fresh air; a majority of his colleagues liked same-old. From Slate:
Vandergrift of Birmingham is a lifelong Democrat. “I’m a real anomaly in the state of Alabama, believe me,” he told me on Saturday. And for the “first time in a long time,” he said, “I feel hopeful about this one.”
Vandergrift was talking, improbably enough, about the special Senate election to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ old seat. And he’s not the only Democrat in the state—or nationally—allowing himself to feel a twinge of optimism. Vandergrift and I were talking in Saturn, a new-ish Birmingham music venue where Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones was hosting a rally ahead of Tuesday’s primary with special guest Tim Ryan, the Ohio congressman who unsuccessfully challenged Nancy Pelosi for the Democratic leadership in December. Ryan wasn’t the first national political figure to take note of Jones that week. Georgia Democratic Rep. John Lewis, the civil rights legend, had endorsed Jones several days earlier. And on Friday, an old friend of Jones, former Vice President Joe Biden, endorsed him too.
When I asked Ryan why he had come to campaign for Jones, he told me that he’d been reading about the race over recess, found himself intrigued by the opportunity of a deep-red pickup, and was impressed by Jones’ record. As a Clinton-appointed U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, Jones successfully prosecuted Thomas Blanton and Bobby Cherry, two Ku Klux Klan members involved in the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that killed four girls but had never faced justice.
Jones, who had worked for Alabama’s last Democratic senator, Howell Heflin, had considered running at the height of his acclaim in 2002—the first re-election race for Heflin’s successor, Jeff Sessions.
After a stint of private practice, Doug Jones is making the run for Senator. If Tim Ryan approves of Doug Jones and campaigns for him, how can you not like the man? Over either Moore or Strange, in particular? But Alabama IS Alabama, not us.
