Wow -- one man using the word "legitimate" bringing down the whole party. Who would have thought he had that much power.

I guess then if the party is successful in November then he will also get credit for raising it up from the ashes -- right???

Exactly! But the downside is that if Akin loses that seat and / or Romney loses Missouri and the general election we will no longer be able to blame the GOP Establishment and the RINOs for the results of that defeat. By standing behind Akin (instead of quickly replacing him) he bought ownership of either a victory or the defeat.

The latter is unfortunate. At least before we was able to tell the RINOs "we told you so". That's out the window now.

Akin has not only hurt the pro-life movement but the conservative movement as well.

Follow the money... it goes back to the democrats.

legitimate was the lesser issue, it was the magic uterus that put him over the edge as well as exposing a cultic belief not known to the mainstream.
