In a close race, does he draw enough repub votes fro Moore to lose ?

No. At most he might be a "None of the above" equivalent. People are NOT going to go out for a special election on a Tuesday in the middle of December unless they want to do one of two things:

Vote FOR Moore.
Vote AGAINST Moore.


Moore should win because the people who support him are more motivated than most who do not.

If you walk out in a week and talk to working-class Alabama folks....you will find that at best...maybe one in one-hundred can remember the guy’s name. I will admit that the Marine might get 500 to 1,000 votes. That’s not enough to change the outcome of this election. Write-in candidates in Alabama do lousy...you can go back through 100 years of voting activity and it just doesn’t work.

Moore takes this election by five to six points in the end.

Now, I will not proclaim Moore the brightest guy in the bunch or the most sane of folks...but we ran through the stupid primary and your choice in the end was Moore or the corrupted Strange. Politics within the GOP of Alabama over the past decade has gotten messy and most folks are now skeptical of about half the Republicans in the state. Ivey (the Governor) is still trusted. If our second Senator (Shelby) was up and running...he’d face tough competition and be proclaimed a pro-McConnell figure.
