I don’t know anyone praising Akin’s statement. Most called for him to get out. Some like Huckabee rallied around him, but not because of his statement. IMO, he needed to get pushed out by all means necessary. He would ave been an okay senator, but he was a massive political liability for the whole party.

Murdock was already a statewide office holder and just made a blunder. If it hadn’t been so close to the election and following akin, I don’t think it would have cost him the seat. It is astounding the lack of message discipline among some on our side.

I would like to hear from our vaunted party poobahs why those losses were so bad when their hand picked guys in Wisconsin, Virginia and Florida failed just as miserably in winnable races.

I agree on your Romney statement. His advisors failed big time. I do recognize that he chose them and they all shared the northeastn moderate worldview, but at the same time, Romney actually impressed me in the final two months.

IMO MO, IN & WI candidates were too old and did not excite the younger voters. The democrats exploited the rape comments to the fullest which hurt all GOP tickets with women voters. FL was never an easy win since the rats had a seasoned incumbent in the race. I did not follow the VA race much so have no opinion. I sure hope the GOP nominee in 2016 will be a fresh face and not a recycled dude.
