Maybe it was common knowledge, and maybe Moore will lose those areas where he was known to be a predator. In any event, he never succeeded in running for Governor so there's that... This refusal to examine data on its face without calling upon some bizarre extra-logical 'timing' question is a sign of a severe critical deficit. One can almost see the desire to reject suggestions of Moore's predatory behavior even when assuming it to be true causing all sorts of cognitive dissonance. Let's assume this is true, but 'wait, the timing'! What does it matter that we discover the fact he was a predator (that, really, Alabama voters discover the fact that the he was a predator) only in the month before the election? If you assume the claims are true, supporting his candidacy simply because the timing isn't convenient for him is illogical. Knowledge of events becoming common doesn't have to be timed for a politicians convenience.

Regardless, he will win, and nothing will change. Trump's value in spite of his initial dislike of Moore, is sufficiently high among Alabama republicans that they will even elected a pedophile into office. They will have to own up to that knowledge at some point. But no one thinks the states going to flip to the Dems in the election, even just temporarily. It's fucking alabama where a racist candidate calling for the good old slavery times to return is right at home, even if he liked underdeveloped girls when he was in his thirties...
