Initially I thought Mourdock was vastly preferable to the decrepit Lugar.....then Mourdock put his foot in his mouth handing the seat over to the Democrats. Missouri is even more inexplicable. Sarah Palin and many conservatives supported an attractive candidate, the former state treasurer Sarah Stedman, but it looks like the Dems played games in the primary crossing over to vote for the weakest of GOP candidates assuring the re-election of the highly vulnerable Claire McCaskill.

'SPLAIN this to us: Obama puts his foot in his mouth all the time. Yet he got re-elected.

Obama declared that the Constitution is "twenty centuries" (2,000 years) old.

Obama said he had campaigned in 57 States and was hoping to visit the other 2.

Obama declared war on piracy.

Obama turned into a blithering idiot at one campaign event.

WHY is that not relevant to his election?

ANSWER: Because his Party did not immediately attack him for it. His Party closed ranks behind him. The GOP attacks their own.

It wasn't the slip of the tongue that hurt. It was the GOP establishment attacking and saying he is unelectable that is the problem.

Wow...some political myths to debunk.

Sarah Steelman finished THIRD in the Missouri GOP primary. She lost by double digits to Akin.....and lost to Bruner...who had little support. Contrary to the Akin bashing Myths....Steelman was the “insider” as she had most of the Missouri GOP insiders supporting her. Steelman sounds more like a female Marco Rubio

Sarah Palin made a poor pick for the primary...a candidate that could not win. Steelman would not have beaten McCaskill, Steelman could not even get 1/3 of the GOP vote in the primary

Had PhonyCon Liberals not gotten so whiny-assed liberal over a comment that Akin repeatedly apologized for...he would be Senator today
