If Moore does win – and he is more likely than not to defeat Democrat Doug Jones – it will be because white evangelicals find his politics more important than his morality.
from the (Stuart) Rothenberg Report
I predict he will win as the Evangelicals are so eager to bring about the Apocalypse they can taste it. They're looking for to the day when the dead sinners will live, and the live sinners will die. It's an enormous mass delusion playing out in real time.
Such an ideology would bring about the utter defeat of the America that starts such an Apocalypse. But if you thought that Right-wing evangelicals, fundamentalists, and Pentecostals had any great moral values, Rothenberg should have disabused you of such a thought.
