Innocent until proven guilty - unless it was YOUR kids he was abusing. If I was deciding on a babysitter or a senator, the preponderance of evidence would be more than enough to make a decision. Yes, that one crying woman seemed utterly fake, but there are enough smoke plumes in other areas to make me believe that Moore was what they say he was. His ban at the mall, the case of the court mother, his own admission that he likes them young, the multiple accusations by other women.
So what if the timing is at it's most damaging? People would have said that if this happened before he became a judge, or if he ran for president. The fact is, he is under national scrutiny now, and that's when the investigation took place. But even if these victims withheld their revelations until the most damaging moment, does that affect their truth? Sure, their motivations may become suspect, but if I was molested as a child, I'd want to ruin the career of the molester at the most damaging, most public time too.
