If Jones is to pull off a victory, it will be because women like Shirley knocked on doors, called neighbors, and worked to convince otherwise skeptical voters that his opponent is fundamentally unfit for the office he’s seeking. A few weeks ago, that seemed like a tall order. As the election nears, it no longer appears quite so improbable.
Allegations that Moore routinely pursued teenage girls and in some cases assaulted them when he was a single man in his thirties have caused Republican voters in Alabama to reassess their options. Some have decided to rally around the nominee. But others have recoiled, leaving Moore in real risk of losing his attempt to take over the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Supposedly, women in Alabama are not capable of looking at the facts and deciding for themselves but must vote based on questionable accusations repeated in the media.
I have no idea what Roy Moore actually did 40 years ago, but the accusations against Moore appear to be false. The two worst accusers, Allred's yearbook lady and the troubled, unstable woman desperate for money with a history of drug use appear to have lied.
The stories about Moore banned from the mall also appear to be lies.
fake news
The Daily Beast, so, no they're not. Fake news / Partisan Media Shills. Thanks detective.
It’s a Marxist website. Why even post anything from such a site ??
Ahh...wishful thinking from the swamp!
Fake news
All the RATs in both parties are desperate right now.
I love it!
Well, all the news sources I’m following say Moore is gaining support. I guess we’ll see which news sources are most trustworthy. ;)
“Beginning to turn”?
They would have already turned weeks ago, if they were going to.
Roy has been fighting back, the year book is a forgery and the inconsistencies are piling up.
This fake news piece is just a confirmation of what a train wreck the GOPe hit job and Gloria Allred’s involvement has been.
Go Roy!
They do this every election. And it is always Republicans voting for the other side. It is never the Democrat voting for the Republican.
Talk about interfering in elections and voter suppression.
FAKE NEWS
ALL of the women who have personally worked for him have a completely different account from ALL of his accusers.
All of the Weinsteins, Frankens, and Roses (etc) have no lapse in their perv activity because they are as guilty as hell.
That says everything ya need to know.
Some Republican women will turn to Jones. Some will stay home. Some will vote for Moore. Key is to make the third group the largest.
Yes, I am so sure that Shirley is just a very convincing woman and has radically changed the landscape of the election, NOT.
If these women are to be believed Moore was doing it well into his 30s. He married when he was 38.
At this point you cannot believe anything that comes out of the liberal media. The only way the democrat wins is if republicans stay home. They are trying to make the republicans stay home.
Hahahahaha.
Fake news.
There should be some investigation of these “Republican” “women”, to see if they really are what they claim to be.
I strongly suspect that this is just yet another political hit job.
While I am hopeful for Moore, I am not as positive about this as many here.
I have much less faith in the reasoning ability of the average voter. Also, I believe that we here often fall prey to predicting what we want to happen and discounting sources and information we don’t want to believe. Not talking the DB here. Just saying we do search for sources that validate our thinking.
While this smear of Moore is certainly less effective than such tactics used to be, it is far from ineffective.
If he loses, I will hold the GOP responsible.
