Didn't Vox mention the GOP in AL have a 5:3 registration advantage?
If they can't get Moore in a Todd Akin moment, they can't stop him. Maybe not even then. It is Alabama after all. A lot of things happening in the culture (copkilling, NFL SJW protests, GOP cowardice, etc.) that makes Moore the obvious choice for GOP voters. Moore couldn't be any more lucky than to be running at this moment in AL.
Somewhere in D.C., Mitch McConnell is weeping quietly.
I read somewhere that they blew $30M on that Strange guy, mostly running ads to try to lie about Moore. But Alabama knows who Moore is, real well. It was never going to work.
Now the GOP has $30M less to spend on electing other Republicans in 2018. And McConnell has to make nice to try to help elect Senator Judge Moore.
