>> Only because the GOPe went along with it. Hannity and Colter did way more damage than Akin did.

Exactly. A complete failure of damage control.

It’s #ing amazing how much support Romney gets despite his voting record on abortion, yet this guy gets persecuted for a valueless adjective and a dubious theory. Nothing but petulance and hypocrisy at extreme levels.

That is exactly what I understand is resonating at the local levels in Missouri. Thankfully, it appears the GOP has shifted into "no comment" mode for damage control, which I think is wise. But it will take a week for that message to trickle down to the blog level. But, give it a week. I firmly believe the coming outlook is far rosier than fellow FReepers would have us believe today. The knee jerk is over.
