Well I didn’t read or see any of those things, and I didn’t talk to any of those people. But on Monday morning I started calling and urging Akin to drop out. By Tuesday PM it was as clear as anything has ever been that he did not possess the political or intellectual skills to get himself out of the hole he was in.
And anybody who thinks that Republicans defending Akin or even just shutting up about him would have helped with the MSM is DELUSIONAL.
The double standard is alive and well and while at times it may be overcome, this was/is not one of those times.
I’m glad there was so much push-back against him, it was all that could be done to inoculate the rest of the republican candidates.
Another silver lining MAY be that the Dems will overplay this. An abortion, etc. celebration at their convention likely will not play well in Peoria or anywhere else.
I can see that you’re proud to destroy a good man.
