Neck-and-Neck

Fox News Senate poll: Doug Jones, Roy Moore are tied [More]
Jones supports a pathway to citizenship and prior restraints on guns. His would be a vote to confirm Supreme Court nominees. Letting him win will be all the signal establishment Republicans need that upstart principled challengers can be nipped in the bud by pointing out "extremists" will lose general elections.

Yes, I get the "we're not going to vote our way out of this" argument.  That's no reason to knee jerk limit tactical choices, and to not to pick up and swing every chair at hand.
