The problem is not with these candidates’ values. The problem is how they express them.”

Thank you, NYer. I hope Todd Akin will take advantage of the harsh spotlight that is on him now, and ask people like Rebecca Kiessling to share the stage with him. If he does, that will be not only a smart move, but it could help some people see the light.

I'm a woman; I've had five pregnancies. Lost one due to stress. Am I allowed to express my opinion that there is some truth in what Akin said (or was trying to say), without being called an idiot? I hope so.

I've been trying to shout from the rooftops that what Akin said was NOT "repugnant" or "imbecilic" or any other the other insulting characterizations that have been hurled at him -- most shamefully by some on the Right.

What Akin is guilty of, at worst, is clumsy phrasing. He has apologized, over and over now, for the clumsy phrasing. If we conservatives must parrot the Left in any of our own phrases, then we should parrot this one: MOVE ON.

Let the voters of Missouri decide. IF conservatives stop it with the circular firing squad, I think is a possibility Akin will WIN Missouri. Missourians don't like RINOs and scared pantywaists ridiculing them or telling them what to do.
