Let me get this straight. Akin and Murdock were ahead ...on the five yard line. ....all they had to do was run out the clock. Then they make misogynistic...Boneheaded...Factually untrue statements..make incacuable damage to the pro life movement....scare and dismay woman..LOSE the seats... and your solution is to Put them front and center?
The problem is that if a candidate makes a statement in opposition to abortion, then that is ALL the public will hear about that candidate, 24/7. That one remark will be the only subject of conversation in the MSM for the entire campaign.
Repub candidates need to be VERY careful in answering questions about abortion. They need to have a standard response that cannot be turned into an adverse sound bite, and stay with it.
