2 things beat Mourdock, the word RAPE in a debate, and a 3rd party candidate. If either of these were not there he would have won.
Mourdock is a great man. Who in their right mind would put themselves and family though a grinder like this with every conceivable trick and trap set? This is why we have such a abundance of trash politicians, the wicked ones actually enjoy this kind of maniacal gamesmanship. I’m sick of the “elite” trashing Richard and throwing him under the bus, shame on them.
I am proud to have donated, set hundreds of signs, campaigned and stood 12 hours at a polling place for him. What did you do?
Mourdock certainly is a fine man but clearly wasn’t ready for prime time. He ran 10 points behind Romney in our state. As for third party competition, a very widely known Libertarian candidate didn’t keep Mike Pence from winning for governor.
As Dana Loesh said on her show yesterday, how can a candidate for national office not expect those kind of questions from the MSM? He should have been ready to grab that pass and slam dunk it.
All he had to say was “so you’re in favor of keeping convicted murderers alive and killing innocent pre-born children?” And then shut up.
In these Senate races where a mistake haunts us for 6 years, we have to be much more careful vetting candidates. Now we’ve got “Obama Joe” until 2019.
