The damage caused by Akin is done. The damage could have been contained if he had dropped out immediately, but now the Democrats are running ads featuring him and claiming Ryan shares his position (liars). The Rats plan to run with this from now until November.

Yep. Heard first Akin ad here this morning on the radio. I'm in Boston market so it was a Warren ad against Brown. And it starred "Republican Senate candidate" (Akin) - looping his statement about magical woman powers which "shut down the whole thing."

And ended with, is this how Republicans "really think?"

The folks who think this will die down are living in denial. We gave a desperate opponent all the ammo they will need for 10 weeks.
