I agree that they should concentrate on jobs and the economy, but relax, this is late August, everybody but we political junkies are on vacation or getting ready for labor day, nobody is paying attention. By the time the conventions are over and people start paying attention, nobody will remember what Akin or King (or even Biden for that matter) said in August.
No, that’s not true at all. Every time some dumb male GOP pol (or Rush) says something stupid like this, I get inundated with hysterical, chain emails from normally politically apathetic liberal women.
This stuff cuts through more substantial news like a razor and gets right to those who are most turned off by it.
