I didn't know he was a Peace Corps volunteer...that is kind of cool.

Jones up by 8 points in latest Fox poll.

Note also that the surge in support for Doug Jones is driven by women, something I've been predicting: 1 in 4 girls is sexually abused by the age of 18 and that includes Alabaman Republican women, many of whom I imagine look at Roy Moore and think of their own predator, or even the harasser at work. Even if they don't say anything about it to their DH or male relatives, they are privately thinking there's no way in hell they'd vote for a skank like him because they know all too well his type.

Also note that Obama received a higher favorable rating in this poll than Trump. In Alabama!!

It sounds like Moore’s campaign won’t have the money to run ads. His only play at this point is to remind people that Jones will be as liberal as any other liberal Senator.

Need to take these with a grain of salt. The base republicans don't want Moore.

It also shows the other Republicans who've been considered as write-in candidates lagging behind Jones

I mean, who knows. But now we have several polls showing Moore in trouble. In a normal world he'd have been DOA even BEFORE being revealed as a predator but we are not in the normal world. (See: DJT.)

In Roy Moore’s firey speech today he claimed Alabama should vote for him because:

“We need moral value back in our country,”

Not even making that up.

You forgot “allegedly.”

Actually, no, I didn’t.

Well, there’s zero proof. It’s he said she said with a fake yearbook signature.

Ridiculous.

He said vs. she said and she said and she said and she said and she said and she all (all corroborated)

So, no.

At this point it's overwhelming.

Apparently Roy Moore wants us to believe that he's the only one telling the truth and that the rest of the world is in a massive conspiracy against him.

Add to that Roy Moore himself being caught in lie after lie about his own conduct, his false claim that Etowah County was dry, et cetera.

Doesn't take a weather man to see which way the wind's blowing here folks.

Not to mention he's been unable to categorically deny any of the reports. "Olde Hickory House" didn't exist, "I dated no one without her parents' permission," "I don't remember it that way," etc.

IIUC, so far, its 4 women who accuse groping/attempted rape/school contact, 3 women who say "only romantic dating". about 30 to 40 who say the women told them something about before this year. An unspecified number (not all named?) who say he was banned from the mall, or at least from many shops, had a general reputation, etc, etc. And for physical evidence we have just the yearbook so far?

Former Gadsden mall manager said there is no truth to the mall ban story.

Admits to being a Roy Moore supporter, so he's biased.

Oh that's funny. Clever, Mr. Wright!

Just dropping in to say that "fake yearbook signature" story is about the most pathetic, sorry-assed excuse for an "explanation" I've seen in my entire life.

Serving as the commander of 188th Military Police Company of the 504th Military Police Battalion,[20] Moore was perceived to be reckless, but very strict. He insisted his troops salute him on the battlefield, against his training, as such recognition facilitates an officer being targeted by an enemy.[21] Some of his soldiers gave him the derogatory nickname "Captain America", due to his attitude toward discipline. This role earned him enemies, and in his autobiography he recalls sleeping on sandbags to avoid a grenade or bomb being tossed under his cot, as many of his men had threatened him with fragging.[19]

He sounds like a real prince.

Vietnam is a time notorious with American Military history for fragging of command.

Although it’s distasteful, it’s not unusual.

Too bad Moore’s Service is being disparaged. People here lose their minds when Trump does it, but happily do it themselves.

Moore was an MP in command of a stockade close to the end of the war, not a combat officer.

And? Still disparaging his Service. Trump would approve.

It's not about his service, it's about him being reckless and breaking the rules. Seems to be a pattern with the guy.

The rule is TO salute officers, just so you know.

Roy was going with the rules on that one.

But not while on the battlefield. Can you read?

So where was Moore when this occurred?

Since you are so hooked in to the situation, link quotes from those under his command.

Moore had recently returned from Vietnam, where he’d been a military-police officer. Some who served under Moore there had referred to him, with sarcasm, as “Captain America,” chafing at his egoist style of command. One such officer, Barrey Hall, told the Associated Press, in 2003, that Moore’s “policies damn near got him killed in Vietnam. He was a strutter.”
Guy Martin taught Moore in a seminar titled Discrimination in Employment. He, too, served in Vietnam. Veterans told him that Moore demanded that he be saluted on the ground in Vietnam, Martin said, which everyone knew was a foolish thing to do. “When you go to Vietnam as an officer, you don’t ask anybody to salute you, because the Viet Cong would shoot officers,” he explained. “You’ve heard this a million times in training.” If Moore indeed violated this rule, Martin went on, “There’s nothing more telling about a person’s capability and character and base intelligence. It’s crazy.”

Thanks for beating me to this. Apparently we are the only people who realize that the footnotes in Wikipedia aren't just for decoration.
