Here is a prediction about what will happen in Alabama.

Roy Moore will win by a comfortable margin.

Moore and his allies will celebrate that they defeated the disgusting people who lied about him. It will be portrayed as a great victory for truth and justice.

The people who came forward against Moore will be denounced for what they tried to do. It will now be treated as indisputable fact that they got caught in a lie.

There will be recriminations against Moore's victims, now seen as his victimizers, for a long time, much as there were against Anita Hill.

Regardless of when the incident itself happened, if Moore calls them liars that's a fresh cause of action.

That's how the Lisa Bloom thing works.

Doug Jones is an intelligent, reasonable person, someone to be proud of.
Roy is a scumbag & areas like Birmingham, Montgomery are democratic.
They just need to get the vote out, like VA did

5. Virginia is a purple state, tilting slightly Democrat. Alabama is a solidly Republican state. (eom)

After all, the only people who support pedophiles are pedophiles.

And that is the truth
