Anybody who isn’t sipping on Kool-Aid knows that this guy bombed his chance to win the election today. At this point, its all about getting him out and getting someone else in who can still salvage the Senate seat. Steelman can get it done, she needs to get on the ballot. McCaskill is a weak candidate, she can’t fight on the issues, she has no positive record to run on, but in a lowest-common denominator situation, she can win simply on a controversial gaffe where people vote for “the least crazy” of two candidates.
The media will not let up on this, as long as this guy is around, his name won’t be mentioned without an immediate referral to these comments, regardless of how many apologies he issues. He just created a guaranteed debate question that Romney will be faced with, and a noose to hang around the neck of all Republicans running for office this cycle.
The GOP has never blown an opportunity to blow an opportunity.
They're going to pound this like the Allied naval forces at Normandy.
