You do not need to be rude. I’m asking an important question. This was a polling outfit that showed Moore winning in the primaries and was accurate. If subsequent polls show him losing, it’s fair to ask what should be done as this is a necessary seat to maintain.

If we can’t win it we don’t deserve it.

Hi Pinkbell,

I live five miles from the Alabama border at Phenix City.

I believe Moore is going to win, and here is why:

1. This is not a primary election, but a special election taking place during the peak of the Christmas shopping season. The hardcore of the hardcore is what will come out, even more than in primaries. In Alabama, the hard core are Moore supporters.

2. Doug Jones doesn't even make a good southern Democrat. He ain't Dale Bumpers or Joe Manchin. Campaigning on a platform that is as pro-abort as a Democrat in Madison, Wisconsin doesn't exactly provide a plausible alternative for those who do not want to vote for Moore.

3. Moore WILL raise money off of this smear campaign. So will Jones. Moore's will be both in Alabama and nationwide. Jones' will be all out of state. That didn't help Ossoff in Georgia. Moore's expenditures will be more effective.

4. The story is already unraveling about the purported 14 year old. The other three are silly nothing-burgers used to try to establish a pattern. There is NOTHING creepy about a 32 year old man courting an 18 year old WOMAN. The poll you site was taken before the backlash started kicking in. Perhaps you saw the Freeper post about the ABC affiliate in Alabama that COULD NOT FIND a single person who believed the smear.

5. Republicans in Alabama DON'T like to be told by guys like Romney (Mass.-Utah), the Washington Post, John McCain (Arizona), northern Illinois (Adam Kinzinger), or NY State (Amy Klobuchar) whom they can elect Senator.

Finally, the name "Roy Moore" CANNOT come off the ballot (it's too late), and since Strange recently collaborated with the crooked former governor, he is a poor choice if a new candidate is needed on moral grounds anyway.

6. This has nothing to do with your original question, but if McConnell-Bezos-WaPo behavior like this can chase a man like Roy Moore off his candidacy, it will happen CONSTANTLY, with EVERY Republican who isn't another tame Romney-McConnell type.
