    If a voter believes that Roy Moore will help forestall the destruction of America, it would almost be irrational to expect that voter to suddenly abandon him on account of revelations about his personal conduct.

        That's obviously no defense of Moore, who is an odious theocrat. But it shouldn't be surprising that forestalling the destruction of America supersedes personal conduct concerns for many Alabama voters.

        In this sense, asking an Alabaman to change their vote under these circumstances isn't rational. (And I think there's more-than-ample reason to believe the allegations are true)

        Yes, I think so. "Our fate as a nation hinges on This One Election" has become such a dominant framing that it makes basing a decision on a candidate's character flaws seem trivial.

        But he didn’t have these “character flaws” until he won the nomination. Don’t you think the timing is a little suspicious & McConnell pouring $30 million in against him?

        It's a bit strange to think that you'd abandon an avatar of your policy preference in government because they were compromised personally, at least w/o alternative. Would same predicament make me vote for a Republican v a compromised proponent of Medicare for all? Certainly not.

        sure, but old rumors from Etowah are going to count for more than anything from out of state. which is as it should be. media can only do so much. neighbors talking to each other.

        And we know for a fact that there are many people who genuinely believe that is actually the case. There are also plenty of examples of "personally flawed" persons or personages who have been recognized, even admired, along those lines.

        Again, the larger question is, what other depths will this hypothetical, yet real, voter go to in order forestall destruction? Maybe accept some more bad behavior. Maybe some more corruption. Maybe some collusion? Because who cares, our world is about to end!

        Michael, seems simple to me. If we as a nation are ok w/killing millions of innocents in the Middle East, is there anything that should surprise ppl? I'm not sure what it takes to shock a voter out of uncaring stupor, but molestation is probably not it.

        True. Also, Alabamians know Roy Moore as an upstanding and principled man for 40 years. His reputation will make it hard for them to believe accusations from WaPo & Dem hack Allred.
