The GOP is increasingly running out of options on the Roy Moore front. Despite floating some potential machinations, there really is no way of keeping Moore off the ballot aside from him stepping down. Roy Moore is not stepping down. His entire career is about not stepping down.
So, the next Senator from Alabama will either be a pedophile or Doug Jones. A guy who tries to date little girls or a guy who put their murderers behind bars. Rumor has it that the GOP has a poll that shows Jones is crushing Moore now. The race was already very close, but late deciders would've likely broken back to the GOP, like we saw with Trump last year. Now, they will likely continue to break for Jones (or against Moore).
There has been a lot of discussion about the "permission effect." I think Moore's (alleged) child predation cancels that out and give people, in fact, "permission" to vote for a Democrat this one time.
I could be wrong. This could be another Trump surprise. Without knowing what is going on in Alabama, I'm shooting blanks in the dark here. But I just don't think there are enough women's votes to get Roy Moore elected.
