He apologized, but the damage was already done. There's no un-saying it. Like it or not, perception is reality in politics, and while democrats can get away with saying worse, the bar is higher for Republicans to avoid the "anti-woman" label. It's not fair, but every Republican should know that going in.

Is that how it looks in Virginia? 'Cause it doesn't look like that to me and I actually get a vote in this race.
