MY opinion is that Moore lost because of all of the harassment accusations. Not because he is a "bad candidate", "idiot", or whatever else he has been called. The people that looked hard enough at him to form an educated opinion hopefully also looked at Jones enough to determine that like it or not Moore was the best choice we had.

What I think happened, is A LOT of people either didn't vote, wrote in someone, or voted for Jones because they believed that Moore was some kind of sexual predator, due to all of the media attention.

I want to add that I am not saying he is guilty or not guilty of that crap that happened decades ago.
