(3,166 posts)than we assume but don't bother to vote or is it real batshit RW cray cray that it looks like to outsiders?
sarah FAILIN
(2,857 posts)Batshit crazy,-30%
Can't stand the thought of an abortion ever happening to anyone anywhere 30%
Centrists from either party willing to vote for anyone sane-30%
Young progressives wanting a free education and $15/hr which will not happen here- 10%
Those first 2 overlap some but abortions and gay marriage are their battle cry.
Life is hard for dems here and moving away is not as easy as it sounds when you have a business and property.

(268 posts)29 percent of respondents said the allegations made them "more likely" to vote for him. WTF?????

(5,810 posts)Surely that kind of accusation doesnt increase his appeal?? Surely they are not THAT unwilling to even look at it dispassionately, but purely on the facts? I think they just cant deal with the obvious conflict between the accusations and who Moore claims to be. So they have to cling to the idea that it is fake, made up rumors. Of course, if it was his opponent who was facing these accusations, theyd embrace it and happily let it sink his chances. Funny how that works, huh?

(13,081 posts)Because hes a Christian and so now, clearly, the forces of evil Democrats, Republicans who wont say the N word out loud, and the owners of large businesses have conspired to destroy this man who is so much like Christ.
Because these people are crazy. This is the same 29% of people who are still hard core Trump supporters. They dont even realize theyre in a cult and they need to be deprogrammed.
They dont even have goalposts to move anymore, because they used the goalposts to make giant burning crosses.

(19,178 posts)And advertise. There are some big time idiots down there
sarah FAILIN
(2,857 posts)A big part of the problem is what dems we have here that will vote are not active in the local parties, mainly because I think they feel like it's hopeless and don't know where to start. What we are going to have to do is not just get out the traditional dem votes, but the convince the republicans that Jones is a good option for them. We need lots of local ads and we need people calling republicans.

(10,279 posts)who make decisions to withhold some or all of it from the Jones Campaign. I want JC to spend my money, if needed, and when and where JC decides.

(21,560 posts)Hillary was leading all the swing states but at less than 50% before the election, and all the undecideds went to drumpf due to Russia and Comey's letter.
So a LONG way to go but there is certainly a possibility of an upset.

(36,745 posts)there is no way I could vote for that scumbag Moore.
IronLionZion
(45,427 posts)with powerful forces in Washington and the media trying to look down on the people of Alabama. They think Washington Post and the establishments of both parties are conspiring to take down Moore to help the Jones.
There is also a certain type who likes assholes who break the rules and take what they want. They'd like to normalizing 30 year old adults dating 14 year old girls because they want to do it too.
They love that this pisses us off.
It ain't over til it's over. December 12th is a whole month out.

Throw out the polls in this election.
DeminPennswoods
(15,278 posts)I don't think most people will admit to another person they'd vote for an alleged child molester or that as a Republican they'd vote for a Dem, but in the privacy of a robo/push a button on your phone, they'd probably admit to either scenario.
DeminPennswoods
(15,278 posts)He was on MSNBC last evening (can't recall which show) and said he'd just returned from Alabama. He didn't give a lot of specifics, but said his conversations with Alabamans make him believe they will not send Moore to Congress.
eleny
(46,166 posts)Like when we were all guessing who was going to be indicted. I felt silly saying it but I had the feeling it would be some unknown person. That turned out to be Papdopolous. I couldn't shake that notion, either, so what the heck. Moore loses.
