I see what you did there.

Given that Jones is only down by 10% or so, if the write-in candidate gets 15-25%, Jones wins.
When the news that Alabama Senate candidate and longtime conservative raconteur Roy Moore was accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl when he was 32, we braced for the inevitable pushback from those on the right who would defend him. Partisanship is a hell of a drug, one powerful enough to cause at least some supporters to turn a blind eye to carefully reported allegations of child abuse.
They did not disappoint. Led by the same cargo cult of alt-right types who argue it's no big deal that the Trump administration has more ties to Russia than the Bolshoi Ballet, conservatives tripped over themselves blaming the accusers or, unbelievably, arguing that his alleged actions amount to no big deal.
If this isn't rock bottom, pray that a comet hits Earth before we reach it.
I'd suggest that Moore gets way more than 5-10%. I'm sorry but Moore has been an out there candidate for much longer than the last two weeks. He has broad support in the state and has won a number of state wide elections despite repugnant behavior for decades. Obviously this current set of revelations are more repugnant than previous, but there will still be 25% or more of the population that will vote for him.
Yeah. I think his die hard supporters are mostly out in the rural areas, but places like Prattville, Greenville and Dothan will just vote for whoever has an R beside their name. It is good though that I see a lot of Doug Jones signs around Mountain Brook (wealthy, white suburb of Birmingham). Most were big Luther Strange supporters, but if that sort of thinking spreads to a place like Hoover, it could get interesting.

Alabama is fucked up.
