Mooring on

We have a bevy of polls out in Alabama over the last week showing Roy Moore is still ahead. The latest says he has a six point lead. Our hunch is that these polls understate his support somewhat as respondents are afraid to tell a phone stranger that they will vote for the man. This latest poll says Moore leads 49-43, so assuming the understated support lets say the real numbers are 51-40?

That's just a hunch and a guess, though.

But honestly, how many elections have pollsters screwed up in the the last five years?

Roy Moore is under siege.

We agree with the great Don Surber:

Absent an admission of guilt between now and Election Day, [Roy Moore] deserves the support of every Republican and of every conservative. 

Vote for Moore and be a conservative, or vote for someone else and be a liberal.
Anything else is nonsense. 

If the allegations have merit, then the women should file police reports, investigators should gather evidence, a judge should impanel a grand jury, and if there is an indictment, the prosecutor should try the man. 

If he is found guilty, the Senate should expel him.
That's a lengthy process in an impatient and self-absorbed society.

We stand by our previous writings on the WaPo story and we've been waiting for more accusers to come out of the woodwork. Gloria Allred dragged a woman out. We're waiting for more broads. If these allegations are true there should be dozens of women coming forward saying Roy Moore got grabby with them.

Until then the fight goes on.
