You're right. They were correct on their positions on the issues, but they made boneheaded statements in the middle of a campaign and that cost us two sure Senate seats. We need politically savvy candidates who will know what to say and how to say it in a way that doesn't piss off over 50% of the voting electorate. Yes, I know Mourdock was a Tea Party darling, but I'm sorry, he said a stupid thing and that blew the campaign up. We can't have candidates that make those kind of gaffes, because whereas the ‘Rats can have the media bury their gaffes, our candidates have to be always on their guard not to say stupid things.

A number of women I have talked to have identified Mourdoch’s and Akin’s statements on rape to be a deciding factor.

Nonsense! How is it that the two states those two represented both went for Romney? And by a very significant margin.
