Parts of the state that have withdrawn their support. whether that means they ll stay home or vote for doug jones remains to be seen. there are reports that steve bannon who sort of supported moore in that primary got in there a little late and sort of took credit for the victory and then has stuck with roy moore even as he was accused of molesting a 14-year-old he picked up outside a custody hearing, he s going to come down and stump for moore. does that make a difference down there one way or the other? so one thing that the polls this morning showed was that moore was performing well among voters who had supported trump. if bannon is perceived as being the personification of trump in alabama, then his presence down here may well help to sway more of those voters and convince them to turn out and vote for moore rather than sit it out. we should say it s a state that donald trump won by something like 33 points, and when this all started no one thought that doug jones had much o ....

Moore s accusers are defending themselves as they re called liars. leigh corfman says she wrote a letter to moore. she wrote, where does your immorality end? i demand you stop calling me a liar and attacking my character. i am telling the truth, and you should have the decency to admit it and apologize. joyce vance is a former attorney, university of alabama law professor. what is it like down there right now? well, alabama certainly is not enjoying its moment in the public spotlight. this is in many ways a painful election. it s as painful for republicans as it is for democrats. there are new polls today that suggest that doug jones, the democrat, has fallen behind roy moore in the polls and it s beginning to sink in that alabama may actually send roy moore to the senate. yeah, we should say emerson poll has moore up by six points. there seems to be some movement ....
