IT will have NO effect at all. Don't forget the elections are over 16 months ahead of us. There will be many remarks made by many on both sides. Ann may be a bold, brazen little conservative hussy, but she has guts. Maybe some of our candidates will get some! What Ann says will stick to conservatives in a positive way. We need to stop acting like PC Rats, and acting like we have to embrace the RAT standards allowed for conservatives. The RATs who say things much worse than any conservative anywhere has ever said.
"Maybe some of our candidates will get some!"
Maybe, but calling people faggots isn't going to win them very many votes. I'm sure there are lots of things Ann has said that they agree with (well maybe not McCain), but if she can't control herself in cases like this, then no one should expect her not to catch some grief.
