The poll may be accurate, but I see room for doubt. Personally, I think Moore could still win if he energizes his base without seeing the Democrats energized. If the Democrats think this will be an easy victory for Jones, many of them will decide to stay home, and because Moore's voters are very loyal, they would bring him to victory. Either way, I'm just glad that these allegations were "revealed" four weeks before the election, rather than one week, and I'm also glad that Moore is very strong and refusing to let politicized sexual misconduct allegations from about 40 years ago ruin his career. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 09:44, 19 November 2017 (EST) | | :Breitbart [http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/11/16/democrat-oversample-fox-news-poll-claims-roy-moore-losing-despite-faulty-numbers/ has criticized] the Fox News poll for its small sample size and for oversampling Democrats.

| | + | ::I think the best defense of Moore is that he was looking for a wife, not a victim or a good time. Several of the accusations are not consistent with that, but they come from accusers with credibility issues. Liberals have apparently decided to dump Weinstein and Clinton. But they'll stick with Franken. So I guess we as a nation are settling on a "Franken standard". That is to say, a politician can be as creepy as Franken and keep his job. Just don't take it to the Weinstein-Clinton predator level. Moore passes this standard with flying colors. Franken has been quite a creep in public for a long time, and unashamedly up to this point. His "comedy" act was to pull girls from the audience, dance with them, and repeatedly grab their asses: "[https://spectator.org/shall-we-dance-al-franken-what-about-that-time-in-montana/ Shall We Dance, Al Franken? What About That Time in Montana?]." [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 10:21, 19 November 2017 (EST) |
