Registered as an independent. It is such a nakedly selfish move. It does nothing to change how she is voting, it doesn’t change the power/control base of the senate (though does give Manchin actually a little more power). All it does is give her publicity.

Saban is making the Bama would be favored argument very likely well aware of the fact that oddsmakers tend to skew lines towards Alabama because the Alabama brand name attracts casual bettors (5-7 ATS in 2022) I don't blame him one bit for pushing for his team. but it's probably worth discussing if...
