Roy Moore is an embarrassment. Doug Jones deserves to win. (George Will)
Washington Compost ^ | 11/13/17 | George Will

But for the bomb, the four would be in their 60s, probably grandmothers. Three were 14 and one was 11 in 1963 when the blast killed them in the 16th Street Baptist Church, which is four blocks from the law office of Doug Jones, who then was 9. He was born in May 1954, 13 days before the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation decision. He was 16 when he attended, at this city’s Legion Field, the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the University of Southern California Trojans football game in which USC’s Sam Cunningham, an African American all-American, led a 42-21 thumping of the home team, thereby (so goes the much-embellished but true-enough story) advancing the integration of the region through its cultural pulse, college football. Roll Tide.

As a second-year law student, Jones cut classes to attend the 1977 trial of one of the church bombers, Robert “Dynamite Bob” Chambliss. In 2001 and 2002, as U.S. attorney, Jones successfully prosecuted two other bombers. Was there resentment about this protracted pursuit of justice? No, he says as he nurses with tea a voice raspy from campaigning, because after 9/11 intervened, punishing domestic terrorism was not controversial. Today, this son of a steelworker stands between Roy Moore — an Elmer Gantry mixing piety and cupidity: He and his family have done well financially running a foundation — and the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions.

Yes. Once upon a time George Will was an accomplished wordsmith of generally conservative orientation. In recent years, about since the Clinton years, he has been mailing it in.

Pay him no mind, he’s old news.

Noise. Nothing but noise. GOPe trying hard ,but not yet able to bring down Moore’s poll numbers enough. Posturing from swamp Senators will become even more hysterical with each passing day until desired result. Like a spoiled brat screaming and stomping his/her feet louder and louder until they get their way. Hopefully Alamabamians ignore the noise.

Bush 31 accused of assaulting 16 yr old in 2003
http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/13/politics/george-hw-bush-groping-allegation/index.html

Being ignored by LSM, as as Mendez (D) over a non incident 40+yrs ago that would/should have been brought froward, when Moore was running against Toxic Mitch’s pet poodle. GOPe establishment can’t stand to have a Constitutional, Conservative, Real Christian in the US Senate, it would upset their RINO balance.

“the deep state and the elites are in control”.
No, I don’t think they are, not on this one.
If they were in complete control they wouldn’t be pissing their pampers so much about Judge Moore.
Judge Moore is a threat to their control of the political system in their eyes, thus the completely unhinged attacks against him.
If the good people of Alabama elect this non-establishment man of GOOD CHARACTER, what could happen in other states.
The unwashed masses (us) could start electing people based on the Judge Moore model and their control would start to crumble pretty quickly.
