Jim DeMint said his pac may give Akin some money.
I gotta agree with you on that.
Akin wasn’t my candidate in the primary and I think his comments were despicable. (IMO what he was getting at was if it was a ‘legitimate’ rape that the woman didn’t enjoy, her body would reject a pregnancy, and thus real pregnant rape victims don’t exist as a category, thus negating the need to consider them in the abortion question.)
But it’s clear that the GOPe had already targeted him and used this as a beyond flimsy excuse to first try to bump him, but now make an example of him to any candidate and pol who might start thinking other than exactly what they tell him or her to think.
The enemy of my enemy in this case becomes my friend.
Who knows? Gingrich’s efforts might give him a razor-thin victory that would give the GOP the Senate—however little the GOPe deserves it.
