Yes likely so.
He made a mistake and apologized. All the belly aching from the circular firing squad didn't help any.
And no, the Rs are not going to lose the House to those who think so, and they will highly likely take the Senate. The Dems have about 23 caucus Senate seats to defend in this election.
Overtime, the Dims will likely overplay their hands about Akin's remark and they will suffer a boomerang effect against them as Akin's repeatedly apologizes for his misspeak.
Do you people never learn? People were saying this same crap about Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell when many people saw that they were basically unelectable. Akin is unelectable. What you’re not counting on is that a man who said something SO stupid, won’t say something equally stupid that will further hurt himself and the GOP.
It’s what stupid people do, stupidity is a habit, not a one-time isolated event and Akin is about as dumb as they come.
Wishful thinking. That same kind of thinking is the ONLY reason Dingy Harry is still Senate Leader. Todd Akin meet Sharron Angle.
“Dims will likely overplay their hands about Akin’s remark and they will suffer a boomerang effect “
Yes, there’s been some of that already. R candidates just have to repudiate his first remarks to appear ‘moderate on women’s issues’. Which they’ve done- as he has himself.
That’s got to mess up the Dems’ ‘war on women’ strategy.
No more apologizing though, he has to go on the attack quickly.
( and wow! what a pity party is going on here...)
