Throwing Al under the bus really doesn't hurt the Dems either, he's just going to be replaced by another liberal that the Minnesota governor will appoint.
It's a pretty slick move on the Dems part. There is already the very real chance that Moore could lose, and they are doing all they can to slide the election in that direction. If playing the moral high-ground is the tool to use, then they'll use it. They have no moral ground to stand on but they well know the short attention span of their base.
If Moore wins, then they'll demand his head before he can cast a vote. And they will paint Republicans as evil deplorables that are OK with child molestation.
Oh, and if Moore wins, then Stuart Smalley may decide to hang around.
