The day after the WaPo endorses the democrat in the Alabama senate race, it drops this story.  How convenient.

The October Surprise is a very old and usually successful democrat campaign tactic.  This one has the advantage of being about something claimed to have happened a mere 38 years ago.  

At this point in the festivities, nobody knows what happened.  Given the age of the allegations, I expect nobody will.  

If the dems are successful with one, every single campaign against a Republican will include a charge of sexual harassment for the foreseeable future.  That charge will join racist, homophobic, sexist, in their toolkit of epithets.  Why?  Because it works.  Cheers -
