Lee Busby, 60, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., said he thinks that the allegations of sexual impropriety against Republican nominee Roy Moore have created an opportunity for a centrist candidate to win more than a third of the state’s votes in the Dec. 12 special election.
“I think you can flip this thing. If this were a military operation, the left flank and the right flank are heavily guarded,” Busby said. “I think that gives you an opportunity to run straight up the middle.”

EXCLUSIVE: New poll shows Roy Moore and Doug Jones in statistical tie A new Alabama Senate poll shows Roy Moore 8 points behind Doug Jones. (Vox, 11/16/2017)
Jones’s lead is outside the margin of error of 3.5 percent, revealing a substantial bump a week after sex allegations against Moore, beginning with a Washington Post report that included a woman who alleged Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 14, dominated the news.
