As someone who was way off on the Duke lax case I'm not going to assume anything. I also consider that the passing of time and this being Alabama will very much not be a big deal there.

That said, this is a big test for the GOP. Virginia showed that suburbanites are not going to be a given for them and this could further alienate college educated women who are not pleased with the current administration.  Since election day 20,000 women have signed up per Emily's List to run for office. Beware a sleeping giantess... or don't at your own peril.
