Ok, I'm not an authority on the procedural rules of the US Senate, but I'm pretty sure they can't expel someone from the Senate who isn't a senator.

You are right. However, since the expectation is that the pervert will win the Senate nabobs need to get their ducks in a row so that they can deny Moore entry when he shows up. Therefore they need to round up the necessary votes now instead of sitting on their butts and then acting surprised when he shows up. Some Senators are on record that they want to expel him if he wins but it's not enough to actually do it under the rules.
