The legitimate rape issue isn’t nearly as big as Rove and many of the hand-wringers want everyone to believe. Akin won the primary and Tinky Winky Rove won’t be able to fill it with some Mike Castle like candidate.
As I remember Bachmann went through the same thing (in 2008???) when she had a lot of her funding cut off. She fought through it and I think Akin can as well.
“Akin won the primary”
With McCaskill’s help and by less that a couple of percentage points against the other two candidates in the primary. I just don’t see why everyone sees this guy as some landslide winner! He still seems like a dumb ass to me, but I still hope that he is able to win the seat if he stays.
