Is There Moore?

The worm turns….
Beverly Young Nelson, appearing with Gloria Allred, said that when she was 16 Moore groped her in a car, locked the doors, grabbed her neck in an attempt to force sexual contact and left her with bruises after she escaped. Her story will be subjected to scrutiny, but as a self-described Trump voter, Nelson has no apparent motivation to lie. She is the first accuser to say that Moore accosted her, and in fact says she feared he would******her.
Well, are we sure of that? Gloria Allred has a long and well-documented axe to grind with anyone who isn’t a Democrat. Her very association with the story taints it.
I’m not convinced, but I don’t get to vote in the special election. I will say this, however — there’s a claim Moore signed this Beverly’s High School Yearbook. Does the yearbook still exist and has that been seen in public? In other words, did he really do so?
That would make my eyebrows go up. Oh, there are probably reasons for a 30ish year old adult man to sign a teen girl’s high-school yearbook (including, may I remind you, her asking him as someone she thought was ‘cute’ or maybe even more) but that signed yearbook certainly would go to credibility, and it would be the first piece of documentary evidence to back up the story.
