Akin shot himself in the foot, then shot himself in the other foot.

Akin was/is a fool.
Claire is a real class act and obviously has a real classy family.
I will not soon forgive Akin for getting her elected.

Akin wasn't alone in this. This was the first glimpse into the mind and behavior of Mitch McConnell as the Republican Senate leader. McConnell ran away so fast from this, when he could have stood ground and help take the seat away from Democrats. Voters would have moved on from the rape comment if McConnell had made a stand and supported Akin.
This was a foreshadowing of things to come under a McConnell majority leadership.

Akin had the appearance/affect of a rural Baptist Preacher. Doesn't sell well anymore. Too rigid. Early Bob Dole-like.
And stubborn beyond all reason.
