Sure. And in the meantime he's supposed to sit back and watch Doug Jones be sworn into the office that he is eventually shown to have been qualified for.
Suppose he beats Jones (it could happen) but then it turns out that he actually is guilty as accused?
That's a real enough possibility, too. And it would (should) make a reasonable Republican think, "We've
been hammering Democrats who've been sexually misbehaving and now we've got one of our own who's
done it? Boy, don't
we look good."
Now, let's remove the accusations entirely. Assume Mr. Moore is innocent. I can think of something else that
might disqualify him: he has said much in the past that would lead one to assume reasonably that
he would, given his druthers, require religious tests as a qualification to office---
contra Article
VI, Section III of the Constitution. That would still make him more palatable than Mr. Jones, of course,
and he would be a likely minority of one in the Senate in such an instance, but it doesn't leave Alabama
voters with a terribly healthy choice, even if you could say that, since it was Alabama Republicans and
Alabama Democrats who created the choice in the first place, let it be on their heads.
