The Right wonders if the ‘Jeff Sessions option’ can save a Senate seat

By Debbie Lord for The Atlanta Journal Constitution

What can be done about Alabama’s Senate race? Maybe Jeff Sessions has the answer. A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the Roy Moore mess.

Opinions from the Right:

1. Roy Moore has a history of contempt for the law

From The Federalist: Don’t be fooled by Moore. Even if there were no allegations of sexual misconduct, he is not what he claims to be.

2. Roy Moore is WAY too creepy to be a senator

From The Daily Caller: When it comes down to it, does Washington really need someone else with a problem?

3. Jeff Sessions can save Republicans from Roy Moore mess in Alabama

From The Hill: There is one person who can fix Alabama’s Roy Moore problem and he happens to be the U.S. attorney general.
