BREAKING GOP Internal Poll - Doug Jones 51% Pedo Moore 39% *

Republican Roy Moore is trailing Democrat Doug Jones by 12 points in the Alabama special Senate election, according to a poll conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee after five women accused Moore of pursuing them as teenagers.

Jones led Moore 51 to 39 percent, according to the survey taken Sunday and Monday. The NRSC withdrew its support for Moore after the Washington Post published the first allegations against Moore on Thursday, and the group’s chairman, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) said Moore should be expelled from the Senate if he wins on Dec. 12.

If he was ahead they would still be at the "if true" stage.

So I'm a little feign to start celebrating. Still, creeping over the 50% mark is an excellent sign ... for Alabama.

That's exactly what I was thinking as I saw your disclaimer. they will do anything to get him out of this race. Though I can't exactly blame them, Moore is just another log in the fire of dishonesty, hypocrisy, and inequality the Republican Party has been stoking for 30 years. Way too little and way too late. Assholes.

...have had a belly full of supporting verifiable assholes that do NOT exemplify honest Christian values?

Yes, I realize there are many that still support him, but something has to account for the swing.
