Not a surprise. Determining whether a signature is a forgery is a somewhat inexact science, which leaves the door open for a forgery claim. But chemical dating of the ink is more reliable. Like I said above, this should be done if Moore is claiming forgery here.
Yes, I agree. Nate Silver has a pretty thorough analysis of the GOP's options:

He seems to think that it is marginally better for them to sabotage Moore with a write-in campaign and let Jones win, because it would still be easier for the dems to take the House next year than the Senate, and if they do re-take the Senate, they will have retaken the House anyway and already be able to block Trump so there wouldn't be much added advantage to them re-taking the Senate.
Check out the pic in the article he is literally swearing on a stack of bibles.
That’s one thing Silver is very wrong about. Taking the Senate has one very large advantage: they can block appointments. The one thing Trump is actually doing competently right now is filling the courts with right wing judges and if the Democrats take the senate that ends. It also guards against the confirmation of another Gorsuch type to SCOTUS.
Edit: not to mention it also stops Trump from nominating corrupt crazies like Pruitt to head federal agencies. It would also double the investigative resources Congress can turn towards Trump’s corruption as you know there’s a deep, deep vein to mine there.
You're right. Silver didn't take that into consideration. However, I still think they're better off if Jones wins. The dems will not likely re-take the Senate even if the dem wins in Alabama. The dems have 23 seats up for grabs next year, while the reps only have 8. Leaving Moore in the Senate will damage the GOP brand for next year, while expelling him is fraught with a number of potential problems such as the possibility of not having the votes to get it done.
I think McConnell's reasoning is similar, which is why he just publicly floated the idea of Sessions as a write-in.
If Roy picked up a boy it would kill him in Ala.He is still leading by 6%. I am pretty sure that rock solid videotaped evidence of moore raping, murdering and burying the corpses of six year old girls would not detract evangelical Christians from voting for him.

Moore's wife claims there was no restaurant called "Old Hickory House" in Gadsden until 2001. The National Review debunks this claim:

Evidentaly, there was such a restaurant in 1977.
Incredible, the foolish audacity of claiming that no such restaurant existed. As if something like that can't be checked? WTF?
It casts doubt, they are throwing shit at the wall at this point just trying to obscure the truth.
Is this what Roy Moore means by Moral Law?

Because let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Well unless, you're black, brown, or gay then we need to throw those rocks early and often.
I posted yesterday in anticipation of people bringing that up as an argument to discredit the accuser. Point being they don't care to check these things. Literally Millions of your fellow voters would never check the validity of these claims. They just regurgitate all over the place.Moore's wife claims there was no restaurant called "Olde Hickory House" in Gadsden until 2001. The National Review debunks this claim:

In a perfect world, which this is not, non-credible arguments like the one made by Mrs Moore here ought to thoroughly discredit Moore's denial of the allegations. Logically, Moore and his wife would have known that this restaurant existed at the time. Gadsden is not that big of a town. Her denial of the existence of this restaurant is obviously a lie. But that won't stop people from believing the forged yearbook claim or any other attempts to deny these allegations.

Not sure if they can keep up that ploy for another three weeks or so. The momentum against Moore seems to be increasing at such an accelerated rate of speed such that Moore's supporters aren't going to able to stay ahead of or stave off the ever building assaults on Moore's viability as a candidate.
I'm personally rooting for Moore to stay in the race and then lose to his Democrat opponent. Alabama pride is on the line in this one. Things still look like a toss-up at the moment though.

edit - I just got through texting with a couple of friends from Dothan. They're both sticking with Moore.
I've heard some very disturbing things going on in Alabama. Trollbots are tweeting and posting that WaPo reporters have been offering women $1000 for allegations against Moore for months. Apparently one of the bots is using the identities of dead soldiers.
Also, Alabamans are saying they've received fake robocalls from a "Bernie Bernstein" at WaPo asking if any women in the household want to make an allegation against Moore.

Wait, are you calling an evangelical Christian a liar? Are you aware of Pascal's wager? You are playing with fire son, put the matches down and slowly back away....
Okay, be honest. Do you think there was ever the slightest chance that the "profile" was not going to be extremely negative?I don’t think you know what a hit piece is. A hit piece is something that is supposed to change public opinion of someone by either printing something false or shading things in an untruthful way. This is an article with 4 separate accusers who didn’t know each other, backed up by 30 other people. To any sane, reasonably objective person that easily meets the standard where it is probably true.
Only on ATPN is a newspaper publishing an exhaustively sourced article about how a senate candidate molested a 14 year old somehow a slam against the newspaper.

Can you really claim bias when you're a shitty human being to begin with? Sounds like Moore's "tastes" were well known in the community. Others went after this in the past including his opponent Strange. WaPo just made it happen.Okay, be honest.
