A quick “I mispoke” will take care of it.
Just don’t let it be ‘Maccaca’d’ by the media.
The problem being Aikin is spending a lot of his time saying "What I really meant was...". This cuts into the time where he can get his message on the economy and jobs and defense out there. To date his quotes have provided McCaskill with a couple of commercials. This quote should be good for another one. God knows how many more he'll give her.

Ya think? Tell some woman, in a crowd at a party, that she’s fat, ugly and her breath stinks. Then say: “Oh I misspoke” and see how well that will “take care of it”. Reminds me of the old song that has the line in it that says: “......with a hasty word you can’t recall.”
On what planet? He's a REPUB, remember?

Too late for that, the second the STUPID words were out of his STUPID mouth.
Doubtful.

If that could be done George Allen would be in the Senate today.

I agree that he mispoke. It sounded to me like he just meant that it is not that easy to get pregnant. I know that it only takes one time to risk getting pregnant, but there is also a huge part of our population that tries for years to get pregnant and can’t. I think he just had a poor choice of words and needs to explain himself a little bit better. Statistics are on his side.

I agree, he did misspeak and he has already quickly apologized. He meant to address the issue of pregnancies resulting from forced rapes as contrasted with pregnancies resulting from statutory (but “consensual”) rapes. Pregnancies from the former are relatively rare but from the latter not at all rare.
In any case, he needs to focus his campaign on economic issues and the McCaskill/Obama record of non accomplishment.
Unfortunately, his un-artful choice of subjects/words can be used against him if he and his campaign is not careful. And they will be used against him not least by those in this forum who secretly hope that McCaskill is reelected. Come on folks, you know you’re here and we know (by their works ye shall know them) you’re here.
Too late. This is also FAR worse than “Macaca”, how do you un-explain the comments that he made? I mean he went so far into the realm of awkward and bizarre that really there’s no coming back. He needs to step down, like tomorrow, because this will follow him all the way to November, and if he said something this stupid in August, you can be sure he’ll say something at least equally ridiculous at another point in time.
