He ran a statewide campaign to win the nomination. He hasn't lost an election in 24 years. I bet you could scruitize the remarks of every candidate for public office and find gaffes. Obama does it all time along with Biden the human gaffe machine.

The MSM has manufactured this hysteria. The GOP did not have to jump into the fray and make it far worse. They should have accepted the apology and let the people of MO make their own decision. Instead they chose to immediately subject Akin, one of their own, to public humiliation. Can you even imagine the Dems doing that?

Sure you could - but when talking about rape that escalates it to another category. Using the word "legitimate" was a gaffe...what followed is still a major problem.
