Is one TV commentator’s comment, “Better a deviant than a Democrat,” one that voters in Alabama want to embrace? A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at what has kept Roy Moore in the race for Senate.

Opinions from the Left:

1. Moore really the best Alabama can do? 

From The Peoria Journal Star: How can Alabama voters defend sending this man to the Senate?

2. Christians: Our silence on Roy Moore isn't enough

From The Washington Post: Aren’t believers called on to speak the truth? Where are the voices from the pulpits across Alabama?

3.  Fiasco in Alabama: Can Republicans Block Moore?

From The National Journal: Are the stars lining up for a Democrat to be elected to the Senate from Alabama? Even with Moore as the Republican candidate, that’s a tall order.
