As the charges of sexual misconduct against Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore continue to plague his campaign and have driven most national Republicans to call for him to leave the race, the embattled candidate is still receiving support from two critical sources: Steve Bannon and Alabama Republicans.

Despite the outcry, Bannon, who supported Moore over Trump’s favored primary candidate, Sen. Luther Strange, R-Ala., has publicly defended Moore since the accusations were published in the Washington Post last week.

The Daily Beast reported Tuesday night that Bannon has been “revisiting” his support for Moore, but three sources close to him denied this account to ABC News.

“Every time I talk to him, it’s ‘when are we saving Judge Moore?’ None of this is true,” said one source close to Bannon.

1. Bannon would be a fool to abandon Moore.

That would politically demoralize his associates.

4. Of course, Alabama is "digging in". They feel they are being challenged in their own home.

This is like an annoying rich neighbor that looks like Mitch McConnell walking into your home and telling you your lifestyle is laughable and your values are corrupt.

This is Bannon's dream. A classic Atwater/Rove reversal. Casting your man's greatest weakness as a strength.

6. Yep

The south seems to be especially sensitive to this type of attacks. Even if they know it's wrong, they put state/repub party before the country. The whole country is watching, but they don't care how they will look.

7. And They're Not Digging In

They're already in over their heads. They're digging deeper.

5. I still think

Moore will win. Sadly, AL voters have stronger hate for the Dems than they do Moore the pedophile. Just the fact that the DC repubs are against Moore is enough for him to win.
