The Gravis poll for the Alabama Senate race shows an 8% swing in favor of Roy Moore in the last few days.
To me, the big news is that the people of Alabama have outright REJECTED what they have assessed as an attack by the SWAMP based on lies from two women who claimed they were assaulted by Moore when they were 14, 40 years ago.
The entire story has in fact unraveled. None of the “facts” that could be checked have proved truthful and the yearbook “evidence” was finally admitted to be fabricated (at least in part), though the accuser and her attorney will still not release it for forensic analysis (of the ink, etc.).
The other woman is a serial accuser whose story was contradicted (in part) by her own mother as well as her acquaintances at the time and has no credibility whatsoever.
That leaves as the only “allegations” that Moore had a few (no-sex, no-assault, totally legal) dates with 17-18 year olds when he was in his early 30s.
The Press—enshrined in our First Amendment—has FALLEN HARD since Donald Trump began calling out their lies. This is not exactly a Constitutional crisis, but there is no question a core institution of the USA has been severely wrecked by its own actions.
Imagine the under the radar component in this. I think it will be the largest in modern election history. Forget Jesse Helms, the press on Moore has been relentlessly bad, and lots of people who are willing to vote for him will not admit it to pollsters. I am thinking a double digit margin is possible.
