this Special Election is settled.

A Moore victory would make it impossible for Franken to resign.

Some polled might have been too embarrassed to admit they were going to vote for him.

does it matter if your Senator is pro choice or not. Also, it's not like they can't elect a R in the next election...it would only be temporary because Moore is just that bad. LET MOORE WIN. It will only benefit the Democrats....either way, it benefits the Dems!!!

this is why the national figures have started to chime in in support. B/c at the end of the day, its Moore vs "A LIBERAL" (ahhhhhh!!!!) and unfortunately, in deep red areas of the country, a liberal is way worse than someone accused of something years and years ago. Because many will justify it as that was a long time ago and he's a changed man. It will hurt Moore, but will it be enough? We'll see. I have my doubts living in deep red America myself.

So that the media narrative was taken over by Franken and Conyers - flood the airwaves, confuse the electorate with information overload and false equivalencies. Reminds me of the BS "Clinton is back under investigation by the FBI announcement" that flooded the airwaves and drove any negative Trump stories down.

Who has repeatedly bragged about rape. I wouldn't be surprised if Stone and Bannon are accused of a sex crime or two in the future.

jumped on board. Not good news. Can't imagine the same drive out of opposition. Hope I am wrong.

can't wait to have their voice heard when they are by themselves with their ballots


I wonder how many women will fix a nice breakfast for their husbands and say "honey I am on the way to the post office where is your absentee ballot, I will mail them both." And magically only one gets mailed.

No one knows who is actually going to vote in this election
