The Harvey Weinstein effect has been huge.

Democrats are playing it pretty well. 

The accusation the GOP lobs is that elitist big city fancy talkers come to small towns to throw around gobs of money and elect soft liberal sissy pants. Which ignores the reality that both national parties throw money at state and local elections if it benefits their national efforts, and in this instance the Democrat is a former prosecutor who didn't have to get thrown out of office multiple times for not doing his job.

But in this instance, the Democrats aren't giving Alabama any money, they're letting the GOP shoot itself in the foot and not giving them any fodder for those foolish enough to believe anything left of extreme far right is hell fire. The dislike of Moore by his own party, accusations of sexual relations with teens and Trump is likely going to have Republican turnout low.
