He’s got to go. In Texas, Clayton Williams was 20pts ahead of Ann Richards in the Governor’s race - then he made his rape comment. Something like “If you know you’re going to be raped, you should just lie back and enjoy it.” Even my arch conservative wife voted against Claytie.
That said, I know what he means when he says “Legitimate Rape.” A seventeen year old boy who has sex with his fifteen year old girlfriend is technically a rapist.
The distinction between forcible rape and statutory rape. You and I know that, and we may know the point that Akin was getting at about abortion. However, the average voter's MIND "shuts down" when the talk gets to rape. This election needs to be about Obama, the economy, jobs, the debt, etc. Akin needed to stay on point, and he didn't.
