If mr. moore is a standard of what is the alternative to being a democrat, if hes a standard of what is socially acceptable, this is an easy choice, again, as long as its a binary choice. >> and what did you find with alabamians when you got a chance to talk to them, how -- how closely are they following this, are they waiting for more shoes to drop? >> well, theyre waiting for the auburn/alabama game and there are lots of distractions in the air down there. theyre like most americans everywhere...
