“Congressman Akin was too quick starting his apology tour instead of just taking the hits and moving on to other issues such as the economy.”
Not half as quick as the Republicans and conservatives who immediately howled for his head....!
Those criticizing Akin were doing so from a political perspective but their own criticism and involvement could push Akin’s own supporters to rally around the man despite of what he had said thus hurting our ultimate political chances almost as much as the man's stupid comments.
In the end, an Akin victory will be his own and nothing to do with the GOPe. But his defeat will also be his own. He will own that defeat.
