GOP: Moore Is More Trouble Than Price Of Senate Seat
Roy Moore could do more damage to the Republican brand than an Alabama Senate seat is worth, which is a major concern for Republicans as Moore tries to weather allegations saying he initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl in 1979. Moore was 32 at the time. He called the charges "completely false" in a statement released by his campaign on Thursday. If Moore loses the seat to Democrat Doug Jones in next month's special election, it could threaten the GOP agenda in Congress.
