A new victory for a party member- Noah Huerta

Doug Jones winning the first democrat senate seat in Alabama in over a decade, against Roy Moore, reminds me of the election of 1860 with Lincoln. 

Objectively, a party member being advanced where usually none would see that party happen, seems coincidental to other major elections in history over all. 
A reason Lincoln won was because the other three candidates, who opposed him, were all for the same idea as each other. So the only other option was Lincoln, or three other identical voices which would thin the votes out by statistics. 

In this case, with Doug Jones running against Roy Moore; the choice is pretty clear to most informed about scandal news.
