“It’s been a gold mine for Republicans.
All they have to do is repudiate his remarks- as Akin himself did- to appear ‘moderate’ on ‘women’s issues’.
So let Romney make a few points and drive Obama crazy.”
I had the same thought. Maybe the silver lining in all of this is that it helps Romney/Ryan distance themselves from future attacks on women’s issues because they immediately repudiated Akin?
And here in Va. George Allen has a tight race and has strong pro-life views...
“George Allen on Monday was among the first Republican U.S. Senate candidates to publicly condemn Missouri Rep. and Senate candidate W. Todd Akin’s remarks...”
That takes the heart out of the ‘Repubican war on women’ meme. Everybody can ride this train- and it’s just politics.
