Exactly. He should brush it off and embarrass the press by saying, “if Joe Biden had said that you’d be singing his praises”. Then move on to what is important, the economy and Obamacare. Talk those two points all the time.
There are many damage control avenues.
The larger point: there was zero reason for Akin to discuss abortion in great detail. Just state his pro-life views and then STFU. He can vote pro-life AFTER he is elected to the senate.
Why he would be stupid enough to even allow McCaskill into this race is beyond me.
We DESERVE better than this.
