They are bold now because GOP really wants Moore out and fix things ...delay or reschedule election...in some small print be move. ..

This would be timed better for the week before Election on 12/12/17..

Just my opinion.

Hopefully it will help turn out the vote in that urban area.

5. The point of the Alabama Media group

i.e. Advance Media is that the 3 papers owned by the group are 3 of the 4 largest papers in Alabama; the other is Gannett owned Montgomery Advertiser. All of which are urban areas. Along with Lee County (Auburn University +) and Tuscaloosa County (University of Alabama, Mercedes USA, +) where the turnout would seem to be in Doug Jones' favor. That should overwhelm the countryside vote.

It's even possible that Roy Moore loses his home county, Etowah. Not because they're liberal (not), but because too many people have confirmed the stories that have been rumored for years {former resident and known primary accuser 35+ years}.

while the republican party continues it's sick and sad decline into moral and ethical degeneracy.
