I don’t know if being on the offense is just shoring up support you already have. It is telling all the other voters and potential supporters that you are not ashamed about your position on the issue; it is McCasKILL that should be ashamed, no?
She wants babies killed because their fathers are rapists? What kind of insanity is that?
She's a democrat. They have no shame. The last few times I saw her on TV she was talking about "creating jobs" using billions of dollars to rebuild and repair American roads the typical BIG government democrat rhetoric and some "JOBS" bill and claiming that she can work in a bipartisan way with republicans as a Senator and all the other BS she spews. No mention of abortion because she already knows she has the abortion vote.
It would be much better if a candidate were to expand on other issues that may actually attract desperate, jobless voters (some who may actually be pro-abortion)but in need of a job.
Who knows, after one term of Senator Akin, they may actually see the light and become pro-life!
