Next time, when the abortion issue is raised, the Republican candidate can simply turn it around on the questioner with “Do you seriously think there’s going to be a supreme court challenge to Roe V Wade in the next 4 or 8 years? Let’s talk about issues that we as a country are actually going to be facing.” And watch the questioner get that ‘oh, crap, I just got owned’ look on their face.
This went deeper than abortion. We needed to dig into some key democratic demographic groups. Since blacks, faggots, and mexicans were pretty much out of the question, women and especially single women would have been the best place to do that but we picked the wrong candidates for the job. They weren’t just wrong, they were exactly what we didn’t want. Instead of appealing to this group, we attacked them and their subsequent support for Obama was anything but surprising. aside from that, these guys tainted every republican running with their nuttiness. As soon as Akin opened his mouth, I knew it was over for us. We had it all sewed up and then he revealed himself to the American people.I also want to say, Ohio should have picked Donna Glisman over Josh Mandel for the same reason but they didn’t because some folks just haven’t figured out that women can vote in America. I’m not even interested in spending any more of my time and energy caring.
