you had former house speaker mick bub ard, he won the election on 23 felony corruption charges. then he got to be the speaker. he got 99 out of 105 votes for that position. >> look, it's a conservative state. roy moore is a conservative candidate. it's not particularly a friendly state for democrats to begin with. if roy moore is able to sell the idea, this is political machinations by his opponents, by the left-leaning media and democrats, then that givers his voters, you know, a reason to stick by him after all. it's very hard to prove a story leak this. it's decades later. a number of republicans nationally, mitt romney, john mccain and others believe the story, of course. it may be the constituents find it, you know, find some other reason to vote for him anyway. >> that he agrees with their political divisions on issues that matter to them most. so it is conceivable he wins. we den know that yet. we haven't seen enough polling
