[h=1]White House dismisses Roy Moore claims as “mere allegation”[/h]https://www.salon.com/2017/11/10/white-house-dismisses-roy-moore-claims-as-mere-allegation/

 

[Swordsmyth]

I expect something like this to happen the next time Rand runs for anything.

 

[Swordsmyth]

Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., likened Moore to Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, former Rep. Anthony Weiner and former Fox News executive Roger Ailes, all men accused of sexual misconduct."The defense from some of his supporters is beyond disgusting," Comstock wrote. "Moore should not serve in the U.S. Senate."

Add Thune to the list of back-stabbers:

Two Republican senators, John McCain and John Thune, said Moore should step aside immediately, with McCain calling the accusations "deeply disturbing and disqualifying."

I'll bet Moore wins by at least 7%. The MSM is giving us Hillary type talking points all over again.

As planned, there goes Moores double digit lead...

Poll Shows Alabama Race Tied After Allegations Against Roy Moore

A new poll shows the Senate race in Alabama is now too close to call, following an accusation that Republican nominee Roy Moore pursued a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl in 1979.

Moore and Democrat Doug Jones are tied at 46% in the survey, which was conducted Thursday by Opinion Savvy and commissioned by Decision Desk HQ in the aftermath of a bombshell Washington Post report in which the accuser, now 53, went on record with her story.

The results also suggested that a write-in campaign by another Republican could tip the seat to Democrats — a prospect that once seemed far-fetched in deep-red Alabama. A three-way race — with Moore, Jones, and interim Sen. Luther Strange as a write-in candidate — would favor Jones with roughly 44% of the vote, followed by Moore at 41%, and Strange at 12%.

The poll surveyed 515 likely voters by landline and mobile and has a margin of error of 4 points.

AL dot come is using a clip from Colbert's show to say Alabama shouldn't elect Moore.

 

[William Tell]

Innocent until proven guilty is for criminal convictions, not elections. I believe Leigh Corfman. Her account is too serious to ignore. Moore is unfit for office and should step aside. -Romney

So if some woman or man accuses Romney that's all it will take for him to be guilty and drop out of the Utah senate race.

[h=1]Alabama ABC Affiliate Can’t Find One Voter Who Believes WaPo Report About Roy Moore in Man-on-the-Street Segment[/h]
During a segment that aired on Friday’s broadcast of Birmingham, AL ABC affiliate WBMA 33/40’s 5 p.m. local news, political reporter Lauren Walsh sought out voters in Columbiana, AL to gauge their reactions to the Washington Post report that alleged Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Roy Moore engaged in inappropriate conduct with four teenage girls more than 34 years ago.


None of the respondents according to Walsh told her they believed the Post’s reporting.


“It’s hard to believe the events that transpired yesterday,” Gordon Fluker of nearby Wilsonville, AL said to Walsh about the Washington Post report.


Fluker’s response was the standard according to Walsh.


“Out of all the voters we spoke with Friday in Columbiana, we didn’t find one voter who believed the Washington Post report about Moore,” she said.

The only thing I know with absolute certainty is that Moore has the correct enemies.

 

[angelatc]

This has all the signs of a set up to me. I don't particularly care for the guy but I hope he sues the hell out of them, especially if he gets evidence of collusion.

I am going to wait and see. I'm not a huge Moore fan so I'm not terribly invested here but there are witnesses of sorts who say the victims told them about it years ago.

 

[Jamesiv1]

The only hurdle they failed to plan for was an unintended consequence – rejection. Real men with any sense at all want nothing to do with them. They simply don’t want to associate with them, work next to them, date them, marry them, or have sex with them. The result is an idiotic sub-culture of sexually frustrated feminazis who moronically believe that screaming helplessly at the sky will somehow benefit society.

Truth. With laser-point accuracy.

 

[donnay]

Next, they'll start smearing anybody that endorsed him that haven't actively taken it back already. I wonder if any of these sleaze bags have had the audacity to contact Randal and suggest he drop his endorsement.

They aren't worried about Rand now, he is out of commission just like they planned.

They are going to go after anyone who is an ally for Trump. I am not sure why a lot of people aren't seeing a coup forming here.

 

[EBounding]

This guy is doing a terrible job at denying it though.

This guy is doing a terrible job at denying it though.

From what I can tell, of all the stories told there is only one that is actually bad and requires denying. The rest are pretty timid by pretty much any standard.

 

[Anti Federalist]

The only thing I know with absolute certainty is that Moore has the correct enemies.

Yup.

Sorry, but it's all out war now, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Yup.

excerpts:

In Alabama, Republican Voters Stand by Roy Moore

"I don’t know whether he did those things. It’s not for me to say, or judge, whether he did those things," Cox said Friday, referring to the embattled GOP candidate in his state's U.S. Senate race. "What I do know is that he’s done a lot of good for the state of Alabama. He’s stood by his convictions."
...
Of more than 15 Republican voters in Alabama interviewed by NBC News, none said their support for Moore would change.

Most said they didn't believe the allegations and some said even if they are true, that wouldn't sway their vote for him next month because they think Moore is a good man, should be forgiven and they could never bring themselves to vote for a Democrat anyway. Several attacked the media.
...
Why would they wait until now to come forward with this unless someone put them up to it," said Tony Emfinger, a 57-year-old barback at the tavern.
"What he stood for then, what he stands for now, that’s why I want him" in the Senate, Emfinger said
...
"Not until this race did the media go digging around on him," said Charles Bodenheimer, a 39-year-old garbage truck driver from Tallassee, Ala., as he sat on a park bench in Montgomery. "If (the allegations) are true, then why did (the women) wait so long to say anything?"

Bodenheimer, who voted for Sen. Luther Strange in the primary and runoff, said he was now backing Moore because Jones is "an absolutely immoral man,"
...
We’ve all made mistakes in the past, we all have sins," said Alexander, who backed Moore in the primary and the runoff. "He should stay in, and he will stay in. No charges will be brought."

"I’ve got his back," Alexander added.

Women were as adamant in their continued support for Moore, too.

Moore also said there would be new "revelations" in connection with the newspaper report that brought allegations of sexual misconduct to light.
"In the next few days there will be revelations about the motivations and the content of this article that will be brought to the public," he said. "We fully expect the people of Alabama to see through this charade."
A spokesman for Moore declined to provide further information about what information those revelations might contain.

Yeah I just did a quick look at one story, and just by the ages, there's 1 14, and the rest are 16+. There was no sex apparently in any of the stories.

With the news reports that accuser had worked for Hillary Clinton campaign, his chances of win have probably increased.
Such is state of US politics.
