You don't have to convince me or anyone that Akin's comments were ill-advised. But they were not illegal or immoral activity

And where did I say they were illegal or immoral?

I did not.

All I was saying was that Todd Akin made grave political statements.

Statements that were so outlandish that caused him to go from a lead to now a 9 point deficit.

Statements that were so outlandish that caused him to go from a lead to now a 9 point deficit.

It's the party piling on him and the ensuing herd mentality among some GOP faithful that is responsible for some of that point loss.
