NEW YORK — Alabama Republican Roy Moore has celebrated his isolated fight against the political establishment in both parties. The outsider story may resonate with Alabama voters, but the reality has a clear downside: The Senate candidate and his allies are almost completely cut off from the GOP’s traditional donor network and struggling to raise money for the final-weeks sprint to Election Day.
Federal fundraising reports released Friday reveal that Moore is losing the battle for campaign cash to Democrat Doug Jones. And he’s losing badly.
Moore raised $1.7 million from Oct. 1 to Nov. 22, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission. Jones raised $9.9 million over the same period.
The dramatic disparity has allowed the Democrat to dominate the Alabama airwaves and get-out-the-vote efforts with the Dec. 12 election fast approaching. Money isn’t always deciding factor — particularly for a Democrat running in conservative Alabama — but Moore’s struggle hasn’t helped his effort to fight back against allegations of sexual misconduct that prompted much of his party’s leadership to turn their backs on his bid.

The loons in AL will come out in droves to put him in as part of their twisted version of "southern pride" and the rest will try to get Jones elected despite the headwinds against them while vast majority will sit home like they always do. It's sad that midterm elections tend to see drop-offs in turnout, primary elections always have a minuscule turnout, and special election turnout is inevitably the WORST.
