Alabama Republican Party support for Moore?

This weekend's Alabama Republican Party meeting in Mobile provided Roy Moore with a temporary victory but nothing else. Crossover voting will be allowed in the party's June 27 runoff providing a small victory for Moore. Moore seems to think crossover voting will help him defeat Riley but I think that that line of thought works both ways. I know plenty of fervent Dems who would like nothing more than to take out Moore ASAP. Other than that there were few victories for the former Etowah County judge over the weekend.
Every speaker over the weekend applauded the leadership of Gov. Riley w/out mentioning his opponent. Those speaking included; Sens. Shelby and Sessions and keynote speaker Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas.
Riley's campaign was in full force over the weekend posting signs around the hotel and passing out gift bags for those who checked into the hotel. Riley campaign materials and bumper stickers were available outside meeting rooms and 1/2 dozen KrispyKreme doughnuts were placed outside each attendees hotel room on Saturday morning. Moore campaign materials were nowhere to be found. info found here.
